NK Široki Brijeg host FK BSK Banja Luka in a Premijer Liga fixture on 12 September. CheckLive’s model favours the away side, but only with medium signal strength at 56 per cent, so this is a close call and a draw is firmly in play. There are league points on the line for both sides.
Široki Brijeg’s last five league games brought two wins, one draw and two defeats: they lost 1-2 away at Zrinjski Mostar, lost 1-2 at home to Sarajevo, drew 1-1 at Željezničar, beat Radnik Bijeljina 2-1 at home and won 2-1 away at Čelik Zenica. FK BSK Banja Luka have had a bumpier run, winning 3-2 at home against Čelik Zenica and 2-0 at home against Velež Mostar, but losing away to Zrinjski Mostar (1-3), away to Sarajevo (0-1) and at home to Sloga Meridian (0-1).
There are no recent meetings between these two in the supplied head-to-head sample, so this is a difficult one to call from history alone. Široki Brijeg have shown they can pick up results at home, while BSK’s away form has been patchy despite their latest home win. With the model signal only medium, the key thing to watch is which side handles the even contest better — and a draw would not be a surprise.
