Zeljeznicar will have an away match against Çelik next week in Zenica and if Slavija will be victorous against Radnik Bijeljina and Zrinjski will beat GOŞK, both in away matches, Zeljo may fall behind the championship race.

Having started with an unsuccessful draw result against Çelik in home match in the beginning of the season, Sarajevo did not loose even one point since than. This week, they had a clear 3-0 away victory against Leotar in Trebinje. Maroon-white team forged ahead by Hadziç at 37th minute and young left forward Suljiç made it 2-0 at 68th. Just after two minutes, the new transfer from Honved of Budapest, Emir Hadziç scored his second and Sarajevo’s third goal.

Sarajevo has strengthened his leadership with a five point difference away from the runner-up Zeljo with the stable performance.

Slavija and Zrinjski, struggling fort he third position had a 1-1 draw in Lukavica.

This week’s most spectacualr result was Borac’s home 4-0 home victory against Rudar Prijedor

Olimpik insists on playing a mediocre football. Until now they could not manage to have two victories in row. Although they had a 1-0 home victory against Leotar last week, they had a customary 0-0 away draw against Şiroki Brijeg. Despite being on 6th position in the Premijer League, with 5 goals for and 4 goals against, they are recognized as the most boring team to watch.

On the contrary to a very good start to the season, Velez could not continue and had another surprising home defeat against GOŞK Gabela in Mostar. GOŞK succeeded to score three goals in the first 25 minutes of the match.

The results of the matches played in the Bosnian Premier League in the 7th week are as follow:
