Rabotnicki — Euro Nickel: 86:70, Macedonian Superleague

Workers defeated Euro Nickel 86-70 in the Macedonian Super League on October 10th. The home side took control early and maintained their advantage throughout the contest. Euro Nickel could not find a way back into the game despite their efforts in the second half.

Workers have been inconsistent this season with nine wins from twenty-two games. Their recent form showed promise with a 92-85 victory over Strumica just days earlier. This result puts them level on points with Euro Nickel, who sit sixth with eleven victories.

We had tipped the home side to win with moderate confidence. The prediction came through as Workers controlled the tempo and limited Euro Nickel's scoring opportunities. The visitors struggled to break down the home defence in the second period.

Both teams have now played twenty-two matches with identical records of wins and losses relative to their positions. Workers sit nine places behind the leaders while Euro Nickel occupy sixth place. The gap between them is minimal on the table.

The result ends a run of mixed results for the home side. They will look to build momentum from this win as the season progresses. Euro Nickel face a tough run of fixtures ahead with little room for error.
