Both teams are enjoying a good season so far and games like this could be decisive. Here's the preview for Sarajevo - Zeljeznicar!
Zeljeznicar could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Premier Liga game only four sleeps ago.
This is a local derby, usually meaning added tension and importance.
