The managers H. Musemić and A. Osim are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the Premier Liga league table.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Sarajevo form and stats
This stadium, Asim Ferhatovic Hase, has been a fortress for Sarajevo in the Premier Liga so far this season with the win-draw-loss statistic 8-0-0. Sarajevo has won so many consecutive home games (eight in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Asim Ferhatovic Hase. We remember; it was Zrinjski.
Sarajevo are returning here after visiting Velez in a Premier Liga game and winning with a 2-1 scoreline. Preceding that game was the away draw at Radnik Bijeljina that finished 1-1.
The Sarajevo manager H. Musemić has got the team scoring with 16 from 8 home games in the league. Defensively Sarajevo have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game in the league (2 in 8 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Zeljeznicar form and stats
3 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses. That’s the product of Zeljeznicar, who have the most scored goals (36) in Premier Liga, playing as the away team in the Premier Liga this season.
The manager A. Osim was unhappy after their last game, a Premier Liga match played at their home ground Stadion Grbavica. Zeljeznicar suffered a 1-2 loss to Siroki Brijeg (placed 7th). Before that one, a nice away victory 4-0 at Sloboda Tuzla.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Zeljeznicar playing away and similar expectations, we found four relevant matches. Results were 1 Zeljeznicar win, 3 draws and 0 defeats.
The travelling fans enjoy Zeljeznicar's attacking play in away games, having scored 15 goals in 8 league matches away. 11 goals have been conceded by Zeljeznicar in these games.
Head 2 Head
The last H2H meeting was Zeljeznicar - Sarajevo 5-2, played this season. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: 3 wins for Sarajevo, 3 draws and 4 wins for Zeljeznicar. Over 2,5 goals: 6 times; under 2,5 goals: 4 games.Top Goalscorers
