DOBOJ, Bosnia-Herzegovina (Interstat) — Sloga Doboj faces Radnik Bijeljina on Saturday, May 16 in a Premijer Ženska Liga matchup that carries playoff implications at both ends of the table.

The teams enter the game locked in a tight series. Three of their last four meetings ended scoreless. The lone deviation came Nov. 28, when Sloga Doboj won 2-1 at home. The most recent encounter, March 14, finished 0-0.

Radnik Bijeljina arrives in better recent form despite a 1-0 loss to Zrinjski on May 9. Over its last 10 league matches, Radnik has posted a 2-3-5 record, with wins over Rudar Prijedor (1-0) and Siroki Brijeg (2-0). The club has shown defensive discipline, holding opponents to one goal or fewer in seven of those 10 contests. Its last win came April 25 at Rudar Prijedor.

Sloga Doboj has struggled. It lost 3-0 at Zeljeznicar on May 10 and has dropped six of its last nine matches overall, with only two victories in that span. Both wins came at home: 2-0 against Siroki Brijeg on May 2 and 1-0 against Posusje on March 21. The defense, however, has been porous: Sloga allowed three or more goals in six of its last 10 outings.

Interstat’s game simulator projects a 1-0 win for Radnik Bijeljina.

Kickoff is scheduled for Saturday at Sloga Doboj’s home ground.
