Round 3 of the PMFL: Makedonija G.P. host the “Wounded” Pelister, Rabotnichki seek another win

All fixtures of the 3rd round in the Macedonian First Football League are scheduled for today and tomorrow, with one of the headline games taking place in Skopje as Makedonija G.P. host the visiting “Wounded” Pelister. The round arrives amid early-season pressure for teams that dropped out of the top flight last year.

Pelister, who were relegated alongside Makedonija G.P. last season, arrive in Skopje without a win from their opening two rounds: they have collected only two points so far despite those matches being played as hosts. A further failure to secure a victory today would increase scrutiny on coach Borche Hristov.

Makedonija G.P., nicknamed the Lions, have taken four points with a significantly younger squad and will be hoping to use home advantage in the derby.

Rabotnichki will entertain Euromilk in Madžari and are clear favourites for the tie; the Debar Maalo side are aiming for a second win in as many matches.
