Željezničar hosts Velež at Grbavica, battle for points

(Patria) - The Premier League of Bosnia and Herzegovina continues with today's matches of the 24th round, with three encounters scheduled. The most interesting should be at the Grbavica stadium in a duel between old rivals Željezničar and Velež.

Željezničar enters with an imperative to win, considering that the 'Blues from Grbavica' are likely to face a fight for survival until the end of the season. Bruno Akrapović's team has 23 points, the same as Tuzla City and Igman Konjic, and these three teams are in positions 9, 10, and 11.

Velež, on the other hand, is third, and in the last five matches, just like Željezničar, the 'Reds' have only one triumph. Points are extremely important for Velež in the race for Europe as well. The match at Grbavica is scheduled for 8 PM.

First to take the field today will be the footballers of Igman from Konjic and Sloga from Doboj (2:00 PM). This is also a duel between two teams fighting for survival, or for Europe. Sloga enters this match from 4th position in the standings, one point behind third-placed Velež. The team from Doboj has earned 10 points in their last four matches.

Sarajevo footballers will visit Tuzla City at the Tušanj stadium at 4:00 PM. The 'Bordeaux' team is also under pressure to win in the race for Europe, especially after having three points deducted by the Disciplinary Commission. The team from Koševo now has four points less than fourth-placed Sloga and five points less than third-placed Velež. Tuzla City, on the other hand, must seek a good result in their fight for survival.

Today's matches of the 24th round of the Premier League of BiH:

Igman Konjic – Sloga Doboj (2:00 PM)

Tuzla City – Sarajevo (4:00 PM)

Željezničar – Velež (8:00 PM)
