MOSTAR, Bosnia-Herzegovina (Interstat) — A season defined by narrow margins reaches its penultimate chapter Thursday when FK Velež Mostar hosts FK Sarajevo in Premijer Ženska Liga play.

The matchup at Stadion Vrapčići carries significant weight in the standings, with the two title contenders having split their previous four meetings this season by a combined two goals.

Sarajevo owns the most recent result, a 1-0 home victory March 22. Velež answered a 1-0 win of its own Feb. 25. Their December meeting ended scoreless, while Sarajevo took the September opener 2-0.

Recent form favors the visitors. Sarajevo (6-1-3 in its last 10) enters off a 2-2 draw Saturday at Široki Brijeg, a match it led twice. Before that, Sarajevo defeated Rudar Prijedor 4-2 on May 9 after dropping a 1-0 result May 3 at ZBorac Banja.

Velež (5-2-3 in its last 10) posted a 4-2 home win Saturday over Rudar Prijedor, ending a three-match winless streak (0-2-1). That skid included a 1-0 loss to Zrinjski and a 1-1 draw at Posušje.

An Interstat game simulator projects a 1-0 Sarajevo victory.

Thursday’s match is the penultimate regular-season contest between the clubs. Velež faces Zrinjski on Tuesday.
