Here's Goran, your sports journalist from Berovo, with the regular Third MFL East review for OFK Malesh's website. The 2025/2026 season is in full swing, and it's already clear who's fighting for the top and who'll struggle until the end. At the top, it's a crazy race! Pobeda from Vinica and Ovce Pole have pulled away from the competition, with only one point separating them. Pobeda is first with 38 points, and Ovce Pole is right behind them with 37. Both teams are playing excellently, with only two losses each so far. A real derby awaits us until the end of the season.
Right behind them, with a slightly bigger gap, are Udarnik with 32 points and Horizont with 31. They will surely try to catch the leaders, but 5-6 points isn't a small difference at this stage. From Bregalnica 1926 downwards, the mid-table zone begins, where things are more relaxed, but without any big ambitions for the top. Karbinci and Tiverija are somewhere around here, in the middle of the table.
And now, let's talk about our own, OFK Malesh. To be honest, the situation isn't the brightest. We are currently in eighth place with 13 points, which puts us close to the bottom of the table. The last game against the leader Pobeda, although we lost 2:3, showed that we can compete with the best, at least at times. But the losses are many, nine so far. Unfortunately, the chances for a higher position are slim; we need to fight to distance ourselves from the danger zone. Below us are Dojransko Ezero with only 6 points, Rudar with 2, and Svetlost with a negative -5 points, so at least there's someone worse off than us.
