International cups are a highlight for most teams. Both Sarajevo and Budućnost are looking forward to this Europa League fight to decide who advances from the 3rd Qualifying Round.
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Premier Liga. That game was an away game at Sloboda Tuzla, so at least Sarajevo are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
Sarajevo form and stats
Sarajevo participated in Europa League the last season, where they reached the 3rd qualifying round.Seven points from three Premier Liga home games is a great start for Sarajevo, who are hoping to build on that form here at Stadion Bilino Polje. Sarajevo haven’t lost a league-game in twelve attempts regardless of arena, a great achievement. Their last loss was the fixture versus Zeljeznicar, 299 days ago.
A strong away win for Sarajevo against Sloboda Tuzla the last match. In the preceding match a 3-1 victory visiting Olimpic Sarajevo.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Sarajevo as they have a new game in only two days, a Premier Liga match thankfully also at home. Zeljeznicar are visiting.
The Sarajevo manager V. Marinović has got the team scoring with 6 from 3 home games in the league. 3 goals have been conceded.
Budućnost form and stats
The traveling awayteam has defeated Astana in order to reach 3rd Qualifying Round of Europa League. Budućnost's mission in Europa League last season failed in the 2nd qualifying round.It's not happening yet for Budućnost on their First League travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? With two straight losses from their last two away games, Budućnost are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
Budućnost play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 1-0 victory visiting Astana. Prior to that match, a home win 3-1 against Mladost in the First League.
The schedule is very tough for Budućnost now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A First League game at Rudar is waiting in only three days.
It's early days yet, but Budućnost has scored 0 and conceded 6 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
Head 2 Head
Last two meetings between the teams: Sarajevo won one, Budućnost won zero and one draw. two games with over 2,5 goals, zero matches with two goals or less.Sarajevo missing players
