Velež vs Radnik Bijeljina - Premijer Liga

The Premijer Liga returns to the home ground on September 2, 2026, where Velež and Radnik Bijeljina will lock horns in a contest that could shape their respective campaigns. The left-back was taken off in the final minutes against Everton with cramp, and was not risked for the Champions League clash vs Sabah on Thursday.

There is plenty riding on this Premijer Liga encounter for Velež and Radnik Bijeljina alike, and neither will want to leave the home ground empty-handed. The hosts have struggled for consistency, WLDLW in their last five pointing to a win rate of 28.57%. The visitors arrive short of confidence, DLLWL in their last five and a season win rate of just 0%. Goals could be in short supply or plentiful — Velež average 0.86 per game to Radnik Bijeljina's 1.5, and that gap may dictate the rhythm of the contest. But Fuseini's equaliser leaves Burnley winless and bottom of the Championship, having failed to gain three points from a match Hayen had described beforehand as "must-win".

Tactically, the contest promises a fascinating contrast. Velež will look to impose their style on home soil, while Radnik Bijeljina are likely to have ideas of their own about how to gain the upper hand.

Game-changers are scattered across both line-ups, and the contest may well be decided by which side's match-winners deliver on the day. Discipline at the back and sharpness in front of goal will likely tilt the balance one way or the other. The 37-year-old former Arsenal and Barcelona forward has netted in each of his first four appearances for the Galician club.

The fixture has the feel of a coin-flip, and picking a winner with any conviction would require a braver pundit than most. The signals point towards a stalemate, with the two sides closely matched across form and standings. A 2-2 draw is easy to envisage. The ramifications of this result could ripple through the Premijer Liga standings for weeks to come, regardless of who comes out on top. Joe Gomez is expected to miss the start of Liverpool's Premier League campaign through injury - but it is not likely to impact the Reds' transfer plans.
