Zrinjski vs Velež prediction

League leaders Zrinjski host ninth-placed Velež in the Mostar derby, looking to bounce back from their first league defeat of the season against Borac Banja Luka. Prior to that setback, Zrinjski had assembled a six-match winning streak and have maintained a flawless home record with four wins from four matches at their home ground, scoring nine goals and conceding three.

Velež arrive in the relegation zone having accumulated seven points from seven matches. While they secured a 1-0 home victory over FK Sarajevo in their previous fixture, their form on the road has been dismal. Velež have lost all four of their away league fixtures this campaign, conceding 11 goals while scoring only twice, which leaves them facing a formidable challenge against the reigning table toppers.

Historical meetings heavily favor the hosts. Zrinjski have dominated this fixture over recent seasons, winning eight of the last ten head-to-head encounters in all competitions while remaining completely unbeaten against Velež during that span.
