The Premier Liga season is still fresh and sports bettors should be cautious. This meeting between Radnik Bijeljina and Siroki Brijeg promises to be an interesting one.

The hosts Bijeljina saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Premier Liga. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Zrinjski.

Radnik Bijeljina form and stats

Radnik Bijeljina's first Premier Liga home game here at Gradski Stadion ended in defeat. Last season their home statistics were 6 wins, 3 draws and 2 defeats from 11 matches.

Bijeljina haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 225 minutes ago. M. Karic scored that one.

Bijeljina shared the glory with Zrinjski in their last match, an away game that ended all square 0-0. Ahead of that match, Bijeljina lost 0-2 at home to Zeljeznicar.

This is expected to be a close game, with Bijeljina perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Radnik Bijeljina as a small favourite), we find four games. Radnik Bijeljina has won two of these, drawn one and lost one.

Radnik Bijeljina has scored 0 goals so far and conceded 2 goals from 1 home game. These are numbers from the league only.

Siroki Brijeg form and stats

A perfect away game record so far for the visitors in the Premier Liga, but they have only played once. Last season their away game stats were 3 wins, 4 draws and 4 defeats from 11 matches.

Siroki Brijeg's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Velez that finished 2-2. Prior to that result Siroki won their away game at Olimpic Sarajevo. The scoreline was 2-1.

Drawing 2-2 against Velez after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager T. Karačić needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Siroki playing away and similar expectations, we found three relevant matches. Results were zero Siroki Brijeg wins, one draw and two defeats.

Siroki Brijeg have the goal stats of 2-1 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: two wins for Bijeljina, four draws and four wins for Siroki Brijeg. Over 2,5 goals: four times; under 2,5 goals: six games.
