SIROKI BRIJEG, Bosnia-Herzegovina (Interstat) — Široki Brijeg hosts Radnik Bijeljina on Monday, May 25, 2026, in a Premijer Ženska Liga matchup that could shift the league standings.

The game at Stadion Pecara kicks off at 7 p.m. local time.

Široki Brijeg enters the match desperate to reverse a poor run against Radnik Bijeljina. The visitors have won two of the past three head-to-head meetings, including a 2-0 victory on April 4, 2026, and a 3-1 result on Dec. 8, 2025. A scoreless draw on Sept. 26, 2025, is the only result in which Široki Brijeg avoided defeat.

Široki Brijeg’s most recent outing was a 2-2 draw at Željezničar on Thursday, May 21, 2026. That result followed a 2-2 tie at FK Sarajevo on May 16 and a 0-1 loss to ZBorac Banja on May 10. The team’s form has been inconsistent (Interstat) — two wins, two draws and six losses in its last 10 matches across all competitions. The club has struggled offensively, scoring just 10 goals in that span, and has been shut out six times.

Radnik Bijeljina, meanwhile, played to a 0-0 stalemate at ZBorac Banja on Friday, May 22, 2026. That draw extended a frustrating streak (Interstat) — the team has not won in its last three games (two draws, one loss). In the previous 10 matches, Radnik Bijeljina managed only two victories: 1-0 at Rudar Prijedor on April 25 and the 2-0 defeat of Široki Brijeg on April 4. The club has scored just four goals in its last 10 fixtures, with five shutout defeats.

According to Interstat’s game simulator, the projected final score is Široki Brijeg 1, Radnik Bijeljina 0. That prediction contradicts recent head-to-head results, which have strongly favored the visitors.

Both teams sit in the middle of the Premijer Ženska Liga table, but a win for either side could move them closer to the top five. Široki Brijeg will look to capitalize on home advantage and end a three-match winless streak against Radnik Bijeljina. The visitors aim to snap their own winless run and maintain their recent dominance over the hosts.

The match marks the first league meeting this season in which the home team is projected to win by a narrow margin. With little separating the two sides statistically, Monday’s contest could come down to which team converts its chances.
