Rabotnicki and Tikves meet in a friendly with no bearing on any table. Both played recently, with Rabotnicki having just won 1-0 and Tikves having just drawn 0-0, so this game is a chance for both sides to try tactics and check fitness rather than play for points. Rabotnicki have won two in a row in their own league, both by a single goal, and across their last five games they have scored only six but conceded just two, so their defence looks tighter than their attack. Tikves, meanwhile, are unbeaten in five in a row in the country's top flight, but drew four of those five, and have scored seventeen goals in eight games this season. The two teams differ in that Rabotnicki focus more on results, while Tikves are a side that create more but struggle to close games out. Given both styles, this game should open up with Tikves holding the ball and pushing forward, while Rabotnicki sit in a block and wait to counter or play set pieces. If Tikves keep finding finishing chances as they have all season, they should cause the home defence problems throughout and have a good chance of taking the lead first from their greater share of chances.
