It's still early in the First League season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the Sutjeska - Iskra preview!
It's no vacation for neither Sutjeska nor Iskra as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Sutjeska form and stats
The first First League game here at Stadion Kraj Bistrice resulted in a draw. Last season Sutjeska's home game statistics were 10 victories, 4 draws and 2 defeats from 16 games.
In their previous game, the manager D. Radojičić led his Sutjeska to a defeat in the Europa League match away at Borac Banja Luka. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stadion Kraj Bistrice. A First League defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at Buducnost.
The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Sutjeska matches with similar probabilities have ended with zero wins, two draws and zero defeats (from two games).
Early season league goal statistics from Sutjeska's 1 home game: 3 goals, 3 conceded.
Iskra form and stats
Only one away game in the First League so far for Iskra and it resulted in three points. Last season the statistics for their away games were 4 victories, 6 draws and 5 losses from 15 travels.
250 minutes! That's how long the Iskra goalkeeper Srdan Blazic and his defense have shut out their league opponents.
Home advantage was not enough for Iskra in their previous game, as they lost their Europa League-match, hosting Lokomotiv Plovdiv, 0-1. Preceding that match was the 0-0 draw at home vs Decic.
As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Iskra has managed 1 goal and let in 0 from 1 match.
Head 2 Head
Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Sutjeska won five games, two matches ended with a draw and Iskra has three wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: four / sixTop Goalscorers
