Željo and Zrinjski in the match of the season at Grbavica to decide the national champion

SARAJEVO, (Patria) - Football players of Željezničar and Zrinjski are playing the derby match of the 7th round of the BiH Championship League tonight at the Grbavica stadium. The match rightly carries the epithet of the derby of the season, as its outcome can also decide the national champion.

Before the derby, Zrinjski is first in the standings with three points more than second-placed Željezničar, so the team from Grbavica needs only a win in this duel to keep their chances of fighting for the championship title until the end.

Željezničar's coach Admir Adžem believes before the match that his players can finally play a good game and achieve a victory.

- They have three points more than us and are in a more favorable position, and what we can promise is that we will do everything to nullify that advantage in order to make the race for the championship uncertain until the very end – says Adžem.

The coach of the blues will not be able to count on the injured Siniša Stevanović and Sinan Ramović, who has three yellow cards, in this match, while coach Adžem has decided to bring back the suspended Asim Zec to the team.

- As for Zec, he was suspended, but he apologized to the players and the professional staff, and he will be available for the match where we need every player. Of course, I am optimistic, if I weren't, I wouldn't be here, I believe in these guys and I hope we will achieve victory – the coach of the blues is optimistic.

One of Željezničar's best players, Jovan Blagojević, also believes that he and his teammates can play a quality match.

- A difficult match awaits us, we have been playing a bit poorly lately, but I hope we will improve that and get back into the title race. We owe it to ourselves and our fans, and I hope we will manage to beat Zrinjski – said Blagojević.

Zrinjski's coach Blaž Slišković believes that one point would be a good result for his players at Grbavica.

- We go from match to match. We don't think about calculations. We always strive for attractive football and always go for the win. We will play like that at Grbavica as well, although many consider a draw in Sarajevo to be a positive result – said Slišković.

Slišković will not be able to count on the injured Semir Pezer against Željezničar, while Pero Stojkić returns to the team.

The match will be played at 7 PM at the Grbavica stadium.
