The visiting Borac Banja Luka side should be favourites in this visit to Mladost Doboj Kakanj, as the away team holds a 8 point advantage from their eleven league games this season.

Borac Banja Luka could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Bosnia Cup game only three sleeps ago. That game was also an away game, at Rudar Kakanj. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
