Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Velez & Siroki Brijeg face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Bosnia Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Premier Liga. That game, against Sarajevo, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Siroki Brijeg.
Velez form and stats
Velez participated in Bosnia Cup the last season, where they reached the 8th finals.When playing at home in the Premier Liga, Velez have managed 4 wins, 1 draw and suffered 0 defeats from 5 games. Two home wins in a row for Velez bring valid hopes of a third.
A nice win for Velez last time playing, versus Sloboda Tuzla. That was also a home game and the match ended 3-0 with F. Mulić and S. Radovac scoring for the victors. Prior to that, an away loss at Borac Banja Luka in the Premier Liga.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Velez, as the Premier Liga home game vs Zeljeznicar is only three days away.
The Velez manager F. Dudic has got the team scoring with 10 from 5 home games in the league. Defensively Velez have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game in the league (2 in 5 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Siroki Brijeg form and stats
Siroki's mission in Bosnia Cup last season failed in the quarter-finals.Playing away, Siroki Brijeg have won 1 game, drawn 1 and suffered 2 defeats in the Premier Liga this season. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Siroki have lost on their last two travels.
There might be some fixture complaints from Siroki Brijeg as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Premier Liga match against Sarajevo (0-2). Prior to that match, a home win 1-0 against Krupa na Vrbasu in the Premier Liga.
The schedule is very tough for Siroki now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Premier Liga game at Sloga is waiting in only three days.
The attacking power of Siroki when travelling is not overwhelming with 3 goals scored from 4 league matches away. Siroki have conceded 7 goals in these games.
