Zvijezda 09 - Olimpik

In Ugljevik, Zvijezda 09 will meet Olimpik with an advantage of 2:1 from the first-leg match.

A player of Zvijezda 09, Damjan Krajišnik, says on tomorrow's match: “After our first game, we were dedicated to tomorrow's opponent and we still analysed their game. They are a very experienced and good team. In Sarajevo, we were lucky when we turned the result afterwards. We were awarded then for hard work and good play. We have quality and we hope to pass into the semi-finals.”

The head coach of Olimpik, Dino Đurbuzović, said: “We are in the result minus and this is a fact, but on the other hand, their advantage is not irreparable. Zvijezda certainly has our respect; it’s a quality team with quality individuals, which is at the top of the table and with high ambitions. It's up to us to play a good game, so we'll see who will be happy in the end.”

Krupa - Rudar Prijedor

Krupa with a 3:0 advantage will host Rudar Prijedor on its own field.

Despite this high victory in Prijedor, the head coach of Krupa, Slobodan Starčević, believes that his team has not an easy task: “Although we have a big stock from the first-leg match, it will not be easy, because Rudar has a quality team and come relaxed in Krupa. We have an obligation to seriously enter the match, play as better as we can and reach the next phase of the competition.”

The expert on the bench of Rudar, Zlatko Jelisavac, points out that his team does not give up despite the advantage of Krupa: “We failed in the first encounter, but the result is maybe too high in relation to the events on the pitch. We finished half-season in the Championship of the Republic of Srpska in the best way and we want to continue in that rhythm. All players are healthy and ready, so we will fight against Krupa with our strongest team. Everything is possible in football and it is sporty to hope that we can compensate the remnant of the first match.”

Sloboda - Sloga Simin Han

After a goalless draw in the first-leg match in Simin Han, the head coaches expect tough game also in the second-leg match.

Slavko Petrović, the head coach of Sloboda, is expecting to qualify to the semi-finals: “Surely, there is a demanding match in front of us. In the first match, Sloga showed that it was a good team. However, we are favourites on our field. I hope that we will give our utmost tomorrow and continue with the Cup competition.”

The head coach of Sloga, Darko Vojvodić, stated: “We showed in the first-leg match that both teams were of equal quality. Speaking of that, I expect a heavy match tomorrow. We have enough knowledge and, with a dose of sports happiness, we can achieve to pass to the next round.”

Široki Brijeg - Željezničar

The teams that share the first two places on the table of BH Telecom Premier League of Bosnia and Herzegovina will play a match at the Pecara stadium in Široki Brijeg.

The attacker of the home team, Luka Menalo, stated: “A match with one of the best teams in the country is ahead of us. A difficult game is behind them, a game in which they have surely been exhausted. However, despite physical fatigue, it is certain that they have been mentally lifted up, because we all know how much it means to them to win its biggest rival. It will not be easy, but our goal is to win and qualify to the semi-finals.”

The head coach of Željezničar, Admir Adžem, points out a good atmosphere in his team after the championship victory against Sarajevo, their city rival:

“We expect a match with perhaps the best team in the league. It's no coincidence that both of us are in the first two places in the table, because we play in a very good form. We in Široki Brijeg are in a good mood after winning the derby. We will do our best to qualify to the semi-finals of the Cup.”
