Velez and Siroki Brijeg have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the Premier Liga.

The visiting Siroki Brijeg played their last game only four days ago, a Premier Liga match. That game was also an away game, at Zrinjski. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
