Match behind closed doors: Weakened Široki welcomes Bošnjaković and Sloboda

(Patria) - Today's encounter at Pecara between Široki Brijeg and Sloboda will conclude the 13th round of the Premier League of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The match will be played without spectators in the stands, as this is the first of two matches in which Široki Brijeg must serve the sanction imposed by the Football Association of Bosnia and Herzegovina due to incidents during the Bosnia and Herzegovina Cup match against Sarajevo.

The home team will also be hampered by problems with the playing squad. Coach Toni Karačić will not be able to count on booked players Petar Franjić, Branimir Cipetić and Dino Ćorić, as well as injured Luka Knežević and Ante Hrkać.

On the other hand, Milenko Bošnjaković will make his debut in a new role, as head of the coaching staff of Sloboda. He previously led the Tuzla club from the bench, but as an assistant. Now he is the one who decides everything regarding the team, and judging by his first announcements, a much more energetic Sloboda should be expected, scsport.ba reports.

"This is a team that will need time to adapt to my system of work. I cannot promise anything except that we will return Sloboda to the citizens of Tuzla. We will work and fight in every training session, which will be open to the public in the future," said Bošnjaković during his presentation in his new role.

The match starts at 5 PM, with a live TV broadcast on BHT1.
