Bosnia Premier League Betting
Premijer Liga
Football is the most popular sport ahead of basketball (all basketball bets) in Bosnia and Herzegovina since its independence from Yugoslavia in 1991.
The Bosnia and Herzegovina Premier League is one of the youngest national football competitions in Europe as it has only been organized as we know it today since 2002.
The Premier Liga is the highest division and is ranked above the 30th position in the UEFA coefficient.
Betting on the Bosnia-Herzegovina championship
The Bosnia and Herzegovina league starts in July and ends in May.
The Premijer Liga has tried several formulas since its inception, and the current form consists of more than a dozen teams where each team meets three times in the same season.
The champions go on to compete in the next edition of the Champions League, and the other two teams on the podium go into the Europa League Conference (all bets on the Europa League Conference) — a competition sponsored by bwin.
At the bottom of the table, the bottom two teams are automatically relegated to the lower tier in one of the two Prva Liga's — the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina or the Republic of Serbia.
Betting on a football match in Bosnia and Herzegovina
Not many goals are scored in a Bosnia and Herzegovina league match. The average number of goals is slightly more than two per game, which is quite low.
The majority of the teams are of a fairly equal level. A typical Premijer Liga day starts on Friday evening, with the majority of the games on Saturday afternoon, and then some matches on Sunday.
Zrinjski, based in Mostar, and the two Sarajevo teams: FK Sarajevo and Željezničar are the three most successful football teams in Bosnia.
When you make a bet on the football championship in BiH, you have to take into account that these three teams will fight for the championship title every season. However, once in the last ten seasons, another team managed to lift the season winner's trophy, and that team is FK Leotar.
