Golemo Konjari vs Skopje - Second League

The Second League returns to the home ground on May 16, 2026, where Golemo Konjari and Skopje will lock horns in a contest that could shape their respective campaigns. How smooth can you be when receiving the ball, how quickly can you move from the back foot, hips open, face forward and find quality with the pass.

There is plenty riding on this Second League encounter for Golemo Konjari and Skopje alike, and neither will want to leave the home ground empty-handed. The hosts will be looking to find their rhythm and put a run of results together. Skopje will travel with intent, knowing that a positive result here could kick-start their campaign. Leeds will not improve on their third offer but have left it on the table in case Saints reconsider their position.

The tactical subplot is compelling: Golemo Konjari favour a possession-based game built on patience and control, while Skopje are happiest sitting deep and exploding forward on the counter — a classic contrast of philosophies. They are sticking to the principles of possession and pressing that have taken them from the fourth tier.

Game-changers are scattered across both line-ups, and the contest may well be decided by which side's match-winners deliver on the day. The wide areas will be a key battleground, with full-backs and wingers on either side capable of swinging the contest one way or the other. Aston Villa have beaten Newcastle to the signing of Johan Manzambi after completing a club-record £59.5m deal for the midfielder from Freiburg.

The market has yet to form a strong view, and the contest looks genuinely difficult to call. A share of the spoils looks the most probable outcome, with neither side holding a decisive edge — a 1-1 draw feels like a fitting result. With the standings tight and form on the line, this is a fixture neither side will want to lose. Harry Kane is the favourite to win the Ballon d’Or.
