Both teams are enjoying a good season so far and games like this could be decisive. Here's the preview for Zeljeznicar - Sarajevo!

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Premier Liga. That game was also an away game, at Siroki Brijeg. 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.

Sarajevo form and stats

Things could have gone better for Sarajevo in their Premier Liga away matches, but 2 points from 2 games is all right. One point away has become something of a habit for Sarajevo who have played out draws in their last three away games.

Sarajevo has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Siroki Brijeg for a Premier Liga game that ended a draw (0-0). Prior to that match, a home win 2-1 against Velez.

It's early days yet, but Sarajevo has scored 0 and conceded 0 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: 3 wins for Zeljeznicar, 4 draws and 3 wins for Sarajevo. Over 2,5 goals: 5 times; under 2,5 goals: 5 games.
