In their turn, Shkupi have rarely appeared in the Eurocups which evidently aggrieves their fans. Last season “Pellumbat” have managed to sit just on the fourth place in the Macedonian First League standings with 51 points gained after 36 encounters played. The team’s offense showed decent effectiveness in attack, having scored 51 goals while its defense left poor impressions with 46 goals conceded. In the latest battles conducted on the road Shkupi have beaten Pelister 2:0, got 1:1 draw against Rabotnicki and failed 0:2 against Shkendija.
Rangers have not met with Shkupi before. At this point “The Teddy Bears” look a bit stronger and more solid, consequently, they are likely to celebrate a victory in the Thursday tackle.
Prediction for the match: Rangers to win with -3.0 Asian handicap.
