Arsimi vs Shkendija Arachinovo in Gostivar
Round 13 finale on 8 November 2026: both teams need a win to stop long droughts.
The final fixture of round 13 in the Macedonian First League (PMFL) will be played on 8 November 2026 at the City Stadium in Gostivar, when Arsimi host Shkendija Arachinovo. Kick-off is scheduled for 1:00 p.m. local time (13:00).
Two teams seeking a breakthrough
Neither side has celebrated a league win for some time: Shkendija Arachinovo's last victory came against Skopje on 14 September, while Arsimi's most recent triumph over today's opponents was a 0:2 away win on 22 August. That run without victories raises the stakes for both clubs in Gostivar.
Arsimi enter the match desperate for three points as they sit on 10 points and need a positive result to climb the table. Shkendija Arachinovo, who for several rounds were one of the season's positive surprises, have 15 points and occupy sixth place.
The debutant Shkendija Arachinovo showed encouraging form early in the campaign and at one point looked capable of challenging for European qualification, but recent results have left them fighting to secure top-flight survival instead.
Both teams are therefore strongly motivated to end their winless runs and will approach the game determined to secure the victory.
The match referee appointed for the encounter is Plarent Salihi.
