Recap

Mladost Doboj Kakanj also had a successful last season. They ended her in the second place of the Relegation Group behind GOŠK.
This season situation might be much more difficult, becuase they were left without a lot of important players like Adnan Šećerović (26, defensive midfield – to Tuzla City), Filip Arežina (25, central midfield – Željezničar), Aladin Šišić (26, right midfield – Sarajevo), Adnan Zahirović (28, defensive midfield – )…
Replacements they found do not seem worthy, but the atmosphere in the team is positive.
„We want to open the season with win at home, which would certainly give us more confidence. The opponent is not to underestimate. Even though they have just entered the Premier League, they have a very good team and we really respect them, but we want win in front of our audience“, said Nermin Šabić, coach of Mladost.
Zvijezda 09 is a new team in the Premier League. They won first place in the RS First League and they proved to be very good.
They brought several good players like Amer Osmanagić (29, central midfield – from Sloboda Tuzla), Anel Husić (23, centre forward – Sloboda Tuzla) and Ibrahim Škahić (24, centre back – Sloboda Tuzla), but the question is how will it all work.
On paper, they look perhaps the weakest, but no doubt that will create problems for many.
Compared to last season, they also have a new coach Milan Đurićić, who is confident before the start of the of the championship.
„We want to create a recognizable image and our rivals respect us as a good opponent, not to watch us as a small, debut club“, said Đuričić.
