Zeljeznicar look forward to fight against Tuzla City in this Premier Liga game. All you should learn about the fixture is located right here!

There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Premier Liga game only three days ago. That game was also an away game, at Sarajevo. 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.

Zeljeznicar form and stats

Zeljeznicar are yet to win a home game, having collected 2 points from their first two Premier Liga games here at Stadion Grbavica. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.

Zeljeznicar are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-3 away versus Velez. The first defeat after collecting points in four league fixtures.

In the match before that, Zeljeznicar hosted Siroki Brijeg and drew the game 1-1.

This is expected to be a close game, with Zeljeznicar perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Zeljeznicar as a small favourite), we find 8 games. Zeljeznicar has won 4 of these, drawn 3 and lost 1.

At Stadion Grbavica, Zeljeznicar has the goal stats of 2-2 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.

Tuzla City form and stats

Only one away game in the Premier Liga so far for Tuzla City and it resulted in three points. Last season the statistics for their away games were 7 victories, 5 draws and 4 losses from 16 travels.

Two away matches in a row for Tuzla City, whose coach Jović could celebrate last time after the win against Sarajevo. Hooray; their first win in the league after seven rounds not winning. As mentioned above, Tuzla City was the only team on the pitch versus Sarajevo in their previous game, winning 5-1. This could be a tougher task.

Preceding that match was the 0-0 draw at home vs Sloboda Tuzla.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Tuzla playing away and similar expectations, we found 11 relevant matches. Results were 3 Tuzla City wins, 3 draws and 5 defeats.

A quick return to home after this game, as Tuzla City are hosting Posusje in the Premier Liga only four days away.

It's early days yet, but Tuzla City has scored 5 and conceded 1 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).

Head 2 Head

Head to head numbers (for the previous ten meetings): Zeljeznicar won three games, four matches ended in a draw and Tuzla City have three wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: four / six
