Velez form and stats

With 3 Premier Liga wins, 2 draws and 6 defeats from their home games, Velez are certainly not brimming with confidence. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Velez to get some points in this home game.

In their previous game, the manager Dudic led his Velez to a defeat away at Zeljeznicar. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stadion Bijeli Brijeg.

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

Velez aren't scoring a lot here at Stadion Bijeli Brijeg in the league, with only 10 goals from 11 games. Velez's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 15 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
