With the match between Bashkimi and AP Brera, the 20th round of the First Macedonian Football League officially opens today in Kumanovo. After the first defeat in the spring part of the season away to Vardar, the team from Kumanovo returns to home field with a clear goal - a second victory in front of their fans.
Bashkimi coach Baze Janakievski can be pleased with the defensive line, which has conceded only one goal in the last three matches. However, the team faces a serious problem ahead of today's match.
Key defender Rexhep Murati has been suspended for four matches by the Disciplinary Committee, which is a major blow to the back line of the Kumanovo squad.
This match will be especially emotional for Foday Travali, who arrived in Kumanovo from AP Brera in the winter transfer window.
„"We know how important this match is for us. We are fully prepared and focused on winning the three points. It is always a great feeling to play against your former club and against your former teammates," said Travali.
Despite the respect for the opponent, he emphasizes that the points must remain in Kumanovo:
„"We all know that AP Brera is a quality team with good individuals, but at this moment my focus is exclusively on Bashkimi. I want to help the team as much as I can and I hope that we will look forward to a victory today."“
The match Bashkimi – AP Brera will be played at the stadium in Kumanovo, starting at 2:00 PM.
