Bashkimi 1947 come into this on the back of a 3-2 away win at KF Shkupi on 22 March, a result that followed a home defeat to Rabotnički and a run that has seen them alternate between wins and losses in recent weeks. Their home record is steady rather than dominant, with six wins, two draws and four defeats, and their 17 goals scored and 17 conceded at home point to a side that can be opened up.
Tikveš Kavadarci arrive in better league shape and with far more firepower in the final third. They have scored 44 and conceded 25 overall, while their away record of five wins, one draw and five losses includes 20 goals scored and only 11 conceded. That is a useful split for an away win case, especially when paired with their recent 6-1 and 6-0 home victories and a 5-0 away success at FK Arsimi 1973.
The main tension is that Bashkimi have been competitive at home and have won two of their last four in the league, so this is not a straightforward mismatch. Even so, Tikveš have been the more convincing side across the season, and they have lost only once in their last six league matches. Their knack for scoring first also stands out, as they have opened the scoring in seven of their last eight.
There is a small head-to-head nudge in Tikveš’s favour too, with a 3-0 league win in November 2025 and four overall wins in the recent record between these sides. Bashkimi did beat them 2-0 in a friendly in January, but league meetings have leaned the other way and Tikveš have been harder to keep out of the game.
My prediction is Away Win at 4/5. Tikveš have the stronger away numbers, with five wins from 11 trips and just 11 goals conceded on the road, while Bashkimi’s home record is only balanced rather than imposing. Tikveš also come in with four wins from their last five league matches, and their scoring form is a better match for a result that asks them to take control.
