The Sarajevo & Siroki Brijeg managers V. Marinović and T. Karačić are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the Premier Liga league table.

Sarajevo have less rest than Siroki Brijeg in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Bosnia Cup game only four days ago. That game was an away game at Radnicki Lukavac, so at least Sarajevo are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Sarajevo form and stats

Seven points from three Premier Liga home games is a great start for Sarajevo, who are hoping to build on that form here at Olimpijski Stadion Asim Ferhatovic Hase. The team is doing great wherever they are playing as Sarajevo has won five games in a row. The Velez match was the last time out without a victory.

In the preceding match a 3-2 victory visiting Zrinjski.

As indicated by the result mentioned above, Sarajevo played a great game against Radnicki Lukavac and beat them comfortably. Expectations are high for this one. The 4-0 win against Radnicki Lukavac was decided after a strong and deadly first half, making the second half more of a journey towards the final whistle.

The manager V. Marinović will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Krupa na Vrbasu in only four days.

Goals decide football matches and Sarajevo are scoring many of them at home; 6 on target from 3 league matches. On the other hand, Sarajevo have conceded 3 goals.
