The main reason for my pick is the weather. It was raining in Macedonia the last days and the pitch is awful in Stip. This game should be played yesterday, but the referee Boskov together with both coaches decide to be postponed for 24 hours. The pitch was under water and it was impossibile to play in such conditions. The rain stop during the night and this match will be played today. But one thing is sure - no way the pitch can be recover so quickly. Just after the first 5-10 minutes, the pitch will be very bad and it is clear both teams will have very hard conditions. The most important for the players of both teams will be to avoid potential injuries. But there is something more. Even the conditions were ideal, I still believe in Under 2.5 goals on this match. The reason is very simple - Brgalnica scored 16 goals on 16 matches played so far, while Metalurg scored just one more - 17 goals on 16 matches. Both coaches, Kuzmanov from Bregalnica and Tasevski from Metalurg are playing not too ofensive way. And the best goalscorer in Metalurg is Krstev with 5 goals. Since coach Tasevski announced a team without Krstev (probably coach Tasevski don't want to risk with him)� and one of the key-players Ejupi is suspended, I think Under 2.5 is very, very possible here.
