BIJELJINA, Bosnia and Herzegovina (Interstat) — Radnik Bijeljina hosts ZBorac Banja on Friday in a Premijer Ženska Liga match, with the visitors riding a nine-match winning streak dating to March.

ZBorac Banja (14-2-3) enters the 8 p.m. local time kickoff at Gradski Stadion having not lost since a 1-1 draw with Zrinjski on April 22. The club has outscored opponents 16-3 during that run, including three consecutive 1-0 victories — most recently a Saturday win over Zeljeznicar.

Head-to-head, ZBorac Banja has dominated. The visitors swept all three meetings this season: a 1-0 win on March 21 in Bijeljina, a 1-0 victory at home on Dec. 3, and a 5-1 thrashing on Sept. 20. ZBorac Banja has not allowed a goal to Radnik Bijeljina in the last two matches.
