FC Struga Trim & Lum come into Sunday afternoon’s 1. MFL meeting in strong home form, with eight wins, two draws and only two defeats on their own ground. Their recent league run is four wins and two draws from the last six, and they have gone seven matches without a loss since their last defeat in mid-February. That kind of consistency at home is a solid base for a home result.
FK Rabotnički Skopje have improved lately, winning three of their last four league matches, but their away record still looks fragile for a trip to one of the division’s better sides. They have taken only two away wins all season, alongside three draws and seven defeats, and they have allowed 25 goals on the road. That leaves them with a clear task against a Struga side that rarely gives much away at home.
The direct meetings also lean Struga’s way, with four wins in the last eight and a 2-0 home victory over Rabotnički in August 2025. Rabotnički have found a breakthrough more often in their recent league form, but they still face a tougher defensive test here than they did against mid-table opposition. Struga’s home goal difference of 33 scored and only 9 conceded shows why they are difficult to shake off at this venue.
There is a small tension in the projected 2-1 scoreline, because Rabotnički have been better at finding a goal lately and Struga are not keeping every game shut out. Even so, Struga’s home numbers and their superior season-long record give them the clearer winning case, especially against an away side that has lost seven of 12 league trips. The home side’s stronger chance creation and much tighter defensive split at home point toward them controlling enough of the game to edge it.
My prediction is Home Win at 1/4. Struga’s home record of eight wins from 12 is far stronger than Rabotnički’s away return of two wins from 12, and the visitors have lost seven on the road. Struga also beat Rabotnički 2-0 in the reverse league meeting at home in August 2025, while their season numbers show a much healthier goal difference and a far tighter defence.
