SARAJEVO, Bosnia and Herzegovina (Interstat) — A struggling Željezničar side will look to halt a winless skid when it hosts city rival Slavija in a Bosnia and Herzegovina Cup match on Thursday, Feb. 12, 2026.

The Grbavica Stadium will be the venue for the derby clash, with the hosts under pressure after a poor run of domestic form. Željezničar’s most recent result was a 1-0 away loss to Posušje on Sunday, extending its streak without a victory to five matches across all competitions. The team’s last win came on Oct. 18, 2025, a 1-0 home result against Posušje.

Slavija, meanwhile, arrives with momentum from a 1-0 road victory over Željezničar Banja Luka on Tuesday, Feb. 3. That result improved Slavija’s recent form, which has been inconsistent. The team has posted two wins, two draws and two losses in its last six outings, including a 4-2 victory over Velez Nevesinje in late November.

Statistical models heavily favor the home side. Interstat’s game simulator projects a 1-0 victory for Željezničar, while its ELO rating system gives Željezničar a 90.70% probability of winning the match.

The cup tie offers Željezničar a critical opportunity to reset its season. Following this match, the team’s schedule does not get easier, with a quick turnaround to host Rudar Prijedor in league play on Monday, Feb. 16.

For Slavija, the match is a chance to claim a second consecutive scalp against a team bearing the Željezničar name and advance in the knockout competition. The visitors will rely on a defense that has kept clean sheets in three of its last five matches across all competitions.

Kickoff is set for 2 p.m. local time at Grbavica Stadium.
