Travnik extended their unbeaten run to seven matches with a 1-0 victory over Radnik Hadžići in the First League of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The away side secured all three points at FBiH - 7 on Saturday afternoon, keeping pace at the top of the table while their opponents remain rooted to the bottom half.
The visitors showed no signs of the pressure that often accompanies a perfect start. Travnik have not lost a single game this season, winning all seven fixtures they have played so far. Radnik Hadžići, by contrast, have now lost five of their seven matches and sit 13th place with just four points to their name.
Recent form tells the story of two very different campaigns. Travnik arrived with four consecutive victories, including wins against Zvijezda Gradačac and TOŠK Tešanj in their last two outings. Radnik Hadžići have not won since their 2-0 triumph over TOŠK Tešanj on 22 August, and their last five matches have produced just one point from a draw with Budućnost Banovići.
The result leaves Travnik firmly at the summit with 21 points from seven games, while Radnik Hadžići find themselves 17 points adrift at the opposite end of the table. The gap between the two sides has never been wider, and Saturday's result did nothing to suggest any convergence is imminent.
We had backed the hosts for victory at 41% confidence, but the away team made the correct decision when it mattered. Travnik held on grimly to preserve their perfect record, while Radnik Hadžići's struggles continue unabated.
