This Premijer Liga fixture sees FK Sloga Meridian host NK Čelik Zenica with CheckLive unable to separate the sides – there is no favourite and no win probability to lean on. Both teams have been inconsistent, so this looks genuinely open, with a draw a real possibility.
Sloga have won just one of their last five, beating FK BSK Banja Luka 1-0, but they lost to FK Velež Mostar 0-2 and drew 0-0 with NK Široki Brijeg, before friendly defeats to FK Kom Podgorica and Ajman. Čelik have also had mixed fortunes: a 3-0 win over Velež and a 3-1 friendly win over BSK, but losses to FK Borac Banja Luka, Široki Brijeg and HŠK Zrinjski Mostar.
The only head-to-head meeting on record was a friendly in January 2023, which Sloga won 5-1. With both sides short on reliable momentum, the key question is whether either can hold a level of performance for the full 90 minutes – and a share of the points would not surprise.
