Eurofarm Pelister keep winning in pre-season

Eurofarm Pelister extended its winning run in pre-season preparations, claiming a narrow 22-21 victory in their third friendly match. The win adds momentum to the Bitola side as they close in on the start of the competitive calendar.

The opponents in the latest test were Slovenj Gradec; the final score was 22-21. The match was the third friendly played by coach Lino Červar's squad during this phase of preparation.

This victory is Pelister's third consecutive friendly success following earlier wins against Qatar and Krka, results the club has highlighted as useful benchmarks ahead of more demanding fixtures.

Next challenge: Partizan at home

Eurofarm Pelister face a more serious exam on August 23, 2026, when they host Partizan in the Regional League at their home court in Bitola. The club and coaching staff have framed that encounter as the first major test of the pre-season.

While friendly matches are intended for fine-tuning tactics and assessing squad depth, the narrow scoreline against Slovenj Gradec underlines that Pelister are finding form but still have details to polish before competitive matches begin.

With a trio of wins behind them, Pelister will turn their focus to the Regional League fixture on August 23, using the remaining preparation period to sharpen both defence and attack.
