Team analysis

Željezničar

Željezničar currently occupies sixth place in the table, 6 points clear of the relegation zone. However, the team has struggled recently, with three consecutive defeats in the Premier League and a very poor performance in terms of goals. They have not scored in their last games, which further aggravates their situation. Furthermore, the elimination in the Cup against Sloga Doboj on February 25 (0-1) reflects the team's lack of confidence.

Zrinjski

Zrinjski, on the other hand, is in second place and is coming off an outstanding campaign in the Conference League, although he was eliminated in the first round of the playoffs against Crystal Palace. Despite that, their performance in the league has been quite solid, although they are 9 points behind the leader Borac. The team will look to stay in the fight for the title and has a more balanced squad compared to Željezničar.
