Tense Derby Looms as Posusje Hosts Široki Brijeg in Women’s League Clash

POSUSJE, Bosnia and Herzegovina (Interstat) — A tightly contested local derby is on tap Friday as Posusje hosts Široki Brijeg in a Premijer Ženska Liga fixture, with recent history and current form pointing toward another close encounter.

The match, scheduled for April 10, 2026, features two sides familiar with sharing the points. Their last three head-to-head meetings have all ended in 1-1 draws, the most recent being on Dec. 13, 2025, in Široki Brijeg.

Both teams are looking to rebound from defeats last weekend. Posusje (6-7-3) was handed a 3-0 home loss by ZBorac Banja Luka on April 4. Široki Brijeg (6-5-5) fell 2-0 on the road to Radnik Bijeljina the same day.

Recent form, however, diverges. Široki Brijeg had been on a steady run prior to the Bijeljina loss, going five matches unbeaten (3-0-2) in league play, including a key 1-0 victory over FK Sarajevo on March 15. Their defense has been mostly sturdy, but a 5-1 road defeat to ZBorac on March 7 shows a capacity for breakdown.

Posusje’s campaign has been inconsistent. Following a strong February, they have lost three of their last four, scoring just once in those defeats. Their attack has struggled, failing to score in four of their last six outings overall.

The statistical service Interstat projects a narrow 1-0 victory for the visiting Široki Brijeg.

Key players to watch will be the goalkeepers and midfield engines for both sides, as past results suggest a tactical, potentially cautious affair. The home side will aim to leverage local support to rediscover its scoring touch, while Široki Brijeg will rely on a generally resolute defensive record away from home this season to secure a positive result.

Friday’s match kicks off at 3 p.m. local time at the Stadion Mokri Dolovi.
