Zrinjski Chasing Their Second—and Most Important—Trophy of the Season!

After lifting the first trophy of the season with a Supercup triumph in Zenica on Thursday, Zrinjski will take the pitch tomorrow in front of their home fans aiming for the second—and far more significant—one: the league title!

The marathon race for the ninth championship crown is nearing its conclusion, and thanks to the outcome of the previous round, the Nobles now have the chance to mathematically secure the title in tomorrow’s clash against Igman—before the final 90 minutes in Gabela.

To recall, Zrinjski lost the top spot in Round 25 following a goalless away draw against Sarajevo (0:0). However, the team responded with an impressive run of victories in the WWin League: against Željezničar (5:0), Sloga (4:0), Široki Brijeg (2:1), Velež (1:0), Radnik (5:0), and Posušje (2:1). The winning streak was extended with a 1:0 victory over Borac in the Supercup.

Igman arrives in Mostar in poor form and low spirits. The team from Konjic was already in a difficult position before their 2:1 home defeat to GOŠK in the last round—a result that confirmed their relegation back to the First League of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina after three seasons in the top flight.

Tomorrow’s clash between Zrinjski and Igman will mark the tenth encounter in their brief head-to-head history—and interestingly, the Nobles will be aiming for their tenth consecutive victory.

Since Igman’s debut in the top flight during the 2022/2023 season, Zrinjski has maintained a perfect record in this fixture. That inaugural season saw wins of 4:0, 3:0, and 2:1. Last season, Zrinjski continued their dominance with victories of 2:0, 5:0, and 4:1.

In the current campaign, the teams have already met three times: two league matches ended 7:1 and 3:0 in Zrinjski’s favor, while the Bosnian Cup encounter in Konjic finished 1:0 for the Nobles.
