Shkendija have struggled for consistency through their pre-season and failed to connect any two same results ahead of the first-leg clash at Nomme Kalju, as they opened the Champions League Qualifiers campaign with an unconvincing win over the Estonian rivals with a late opener from the spot to snatch an important advantage.
Red and Blacks have failed to convert their many chances along the way and while the win could have been more comfortable, it will give them breathing space and we expect Qatip Osmani’s men very motivated to build on the performance and outclass the rivals this time around.
Nomme Kalju haven’t really been able to show off in front of the home crowd and struggles to score goals on the road seen beforehand will be more worrying, as they came into the first clash with draws at Tammeka (0-0) and Trans (1-1) behind them – with just two goals in three away games scored.
Pink Panthers will now have to go all out for a goal if they’re to cause an upset at Tose Proeski Arena, but this could prove costly as Roman Kozhukhovskyi could consequently have more troubles setting up a consistent back line. They now seem great underdogs and it’s hard to see them recuperate in Macedonia.
We will now rather back Shkendija to capitalize on the pressure they’ve put on the rivals with a win in the first leg, sticking with them to bag a more comfortable Home win to Nil and a going for it at 5/6 with Unibet – which seems great value at this point.
We feel we’ll still be in for goals and Nomme Kalju could find themselves all over the place on the day, as we now also go for a one-sided and high-scoring contest in Skopje with Over 2.5 Goals FT at 4/9 with 22bet as more of a banker bet.
