OMARSKA, Bosnia-Herzegovina (Interstat) — Omarska will host Potkozarje on Sunday in a Prva Liga match with both teams looking to build momentum in a crowded schedule.

Potkozarje enters the contest at 6-5-2 across all competitions, while Omarska is 1-5-2. The visiting side has shown the stronger form over the season, though Omarska will look to use home advantage to close the gap. Omarska will need a stronger defensive effort to slow Potkozarje’s attack.

Potkozarje’s most recent result was a 1-0 loss at Prijedor. Before that, Potkozarje beat Drina Zvornik 2-0, lost 2-1 at Sutjeska Foca, beat Slavija 1-0, lost 2-1 at Nevesinje and drew 1-1 with Leotar. That run has left Potkozarje with two wins, one draw and three losses in its last six matches across all competitions. Potkozarje also has wins over Romanija, FK Majevica and Zvijezda 09 this season, along with losses to Laktasi and Vojkovici.

Omarska’s most recent match was a 1-1 draw with Zvornik. Omarska lost 1-0 at Sutjeska before that result and has one win in its last six matches, a 1-0 home victory over Slavija. The home side also lost 2-1 at Nevesinje, 1-0 to Leotar and 3-2 at Romanija during that stretch. Omarska opened its season with a 0-0 draw against FK Majevica before falling 2-0 at Potkozarje. Omarska has also drawn with FK Majevica and Zvornik, but a series of one-goal defeats has kept the home side near the bottom of the early table.

Luka Kovac is the player to watch for Potkozarje. The attacker scored twice and played 90 minutes in a recent 2-0 win over Drina Zvornik, a performance that underlined his importance to the visiting attack. Kovac’s recent scoring output makes him the main attacking threat for the visitors.

In the most recent head-to-head meeting between the teams, Potkozarje beat Omarska 2-0. Potkozarje will try to repeat that result and strengthen its position, while Omarska will seek a better defensive display and a first win in the series this season. The home side will need a disciplined performance to contain Potkozarje’s attack.

Potkozarje’s upcoming schedule includes a home match against Kozara, followed by trips to Zvijezda 09 and Vojkovici. Omarska is set to visit FK Majevica before hosting Romanija and traveling to Leotar. Potkozarje is also scheduled to face Laktasi, FK Majevica and Romanija later in the campaign, while Omarska’s later fixtures include Slavija, Sutjeska, Zvornik and Prijedor. Those fixtures could shape the early-season standings and add importance to Sunday’s meeting.

Interstat’s game simulator projects a 1-1 final. The ELO system gives Omarska a 57.6 percent probability to win.
