Sloboda Tuzla looks to play a vertical style of football with a 4-3-3 formation. This lineup aims to move the ball forward quickly through the thirds to catch the opposition out of position. The team relies on direct movements to break the lines and create chances in the final third.

MUMINOVIĆ stays between the posts to guard the goal. The back four operates as a flat line, with HUSEJNOVIĆ acting as the left back and MURATOVIĆ playing as the right back. In the middle of the defense, PURAČ U21 and RAŠEVIĆS work together to defend zonally. PURAČ U21 and RAŠEVIĆS must stay connected to maintain the defensive line and clear the lines when under pressure. The wide defenders are expected to track back when the ball is lost to prevent crosses.

The midfield consists of a three-man unit designed to control the center of the pitch. ĆIVIĆ plays as the left central midfielder, while BEGANOVIĆ U21 occupies the right central midfield spot. KALESIĆ operates as the attacking ten, playing in the hole behind the striker to link the midfield and attack. BEGANOVIĆ U21 and ĆIVIĆ work to win the second ball and recycle possession to find KALESIĆ. KALESIĆ tries to find the feet of the striker or play through the lines to ignite the attack.

The attacking unit uses three players across the front to stretch the defense. POTURALIĆ leads the line as a lone striker, looking to hold up the ball and wait for support. HUSIĆ plays on the left wing and JAGANJAC occupies the right wing. Both HUSIĆ and JAGANJAC act as wide wingers who can cut inside to create goal scoring opportunities. The forwards are tasked to press from the front to force a long ball from the opposition.

This Sloboda Tuzla formation offers several tactical advantages. The presence of KALESIĆ in the hole creates numerical superiority in the central areas when the team transitions forward. The wide attackers HUSIĆ and JAGANJAC can pull the opposition defenders out of position to create space for runs in behind. This allows POTURALIĆ to find more room in the box.

Sloboda Tuzla uses this 4-3-3 to play a direct and attacking game. This formation is best suited for matches against teams that play a high line and leave space behind their defenders.
