Match preview
Čelik host Velež in round four of the Premijer Liga season, with both sides seeking stability after challenging opening fixtures. Čelik enter the matchup rooted to the bottom of the table in 10th place, having suffered three consecutive league defeats against Zrinjski (1-2), Široki Brijeg (1-2), and Borac Banja Luka (0-2). With zero points and six goals conceded across their first three matches, the home side will be eager to reverse their early-season slump.
Velež arrive in Zenica sitting in 7th position with three points from three matches. After consecutive away losses against Borac Banja Luka (1-3) and BSK Banja Luka (0-2), Velež bounced back in their most recent league outing with a 2-0 home victory over Sloga Doboj. While their away form has seen them concede five goals across two trips, that recent win gives them positive momentum heading into this contest.
Historically, the head-to-head between the sides across their two recorded meetings stands balanced at one win apiece, including a 2-0 away victory for Velež in their last meeting at this venue in October 2019. Given Čelik's difficulties in earning points thus far and Velež's recent return to winning ways, the visitors hold a slight upper hand in form.
Key factors
- Čelik have zero points from three league fixtures, conceding two goals in every match for a 2.0 goals-against average.
