Zeljeznicar form and stats

When playing at home in the Premier Liga, Zeljeznicar have managed 5 wins, 4 draws and suffered 5 defeats from 14 games. All in all it has been a very rough period for Zeljeznicar who hasn’t won a league-game in their last eleven attempts. Their previous win was against Zrinjski, 157 days ago. Zeljeznicar are slowly digging their own grave here at Stadion Grbavica with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in seven attempts. The last victory here came in the Radnik Bijeljina match.

Zeljeznicar are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-3 away versus Sarajevo. Before that game, the home loss against Olimpic Sarajevo with the scoreline 1-2.

Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at S. Štilić for missing a penalty kick versus Sarajevo in the 54th minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome.

Zeljeznicar are traveling soon after this match as the Premier Liga match at Velez awaits in four days.

The Zeljeznicar fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 19 in 14 matches. 16 goals have been conceded.
