Skopje vs Bashkimi — both hunt first win in PMFL 6th round
In the PMFL sixth round (kickoff 16:30, 5 September 2026 at the Football Federation of North Macedonia pitches), two winless sides face each other.
Skopje and Bashkimi meet on 5 September 2026 in the sixth round of the Macedonian First League, with kickoff scheduled for 16:30 at the training pitches of the Football Federation of North Macedonia. Both sides enter the game still searching for a first victory this season.
Skopje — nicknamed the 'Pirates' — have collected three points from three draws and were expected to have a stronger start, while Bashkimi remain without points after five rounds. The match offers Muarem Muraem, the Skopje coach and a former Bashkimi manager, an opportunity to secure his team's first triumph.
Form and expectations
Despite their league position, Bashkimi have shown signs of improvement over the last two matches; even in defeat they made it harder for opponents to break them down. That resilience means it would not be a major surprise if the Kumanovo side finally earned their opening point of the campaign.
On paper Skopje are the favourites and a home victory is the likeliest outcome. Still, the game is far from a foregone conclusion — Bashkimi's recent displays suggest the visitors can make life difficult and possibly frustrate the hosts.
The fixture starts at 16:30 at the Football Federation of North Macedonia complex in Skopje. The appointed referee for the match is Furkan Idrizi.
