Velez will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today’s opponents. The home side are currently 14 points behind Sarajevo.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
