Vardar defends home fortress in Skopje, GRK Ohrid still without a win there

Five matches from the fifth round of the Super League take place today, with the spotlight on the derby at the Jane Sandanski Sports Center in Skopje where Vardar host GRK Ohrid. The clash kicks off at 18:30 and will be shown live on Arena Sport MK.

Vardar arrive as one of only two unbeaten teams in the competition so far; whether they keep that status will be decided tonight. GRK Ohrid and Vardar met in several pre-season encounters: Ohrid were stronger in tournament games, while the reigning champion prevailed in the Super Cup. Notably, Ohrid have never recorded a win on the difficult Skopje court.

Alkaloid hopes to extend perfect start

Also drawing attention this evening is the game in Avtokomanda where Alkaloid host GRK Tikvesh (19:00). Coach Kiril Lazarov and his players share first place with Vardar, having opened the campaign with four wins from four matches. Alkaloid will be eager to maintain that perfect start in front of their fans.

Across the round, teams will look to consolidate positions as the league heads into its early, decisive phases. Fans can expect intense, physical encounters as clubs fight for momentum and league points.

The schedule and live broadcast details make the fifth round one of the most anticipated matchdays so far in the domestic handball calendar.
