Bosnia and Herzegovina to Win

Slovakia made a disappointing start to their EURO 2024 qualification campaign by drawing at home to Luxembourg, and now they have to face a team that won their opening match in some style. The visiting team isn't the favorite in this Slovakia vs Bosnia and Herzegovina prediction, at least according to the bookmakers with the way they set up the odds. However, looking at how the team performed in its first official match under a new manager Faruk Hadzibegic, it was impressive, to say the least, which can't be stated for Slovakia. These teams played three times in its history, the last match was in 2013 during the World Cup 2014 qualifiers. Interestingly, Bosnia and Herzegovina won twice, both times when the game was played in Slovakia, while the Slovaks won their game away as well.

Under 2.5 Goals

Slovakia proved once again that they are seriously lacking in striker options. Their dull goalless draw against Luxembourg showed how many problems there are within this particular squad. The Slovaks had three out of their last five matches with fewer than three goals scored, and their last two games ended without any goals. That is especially evident when they are playing at home which shows that this team is struggling with pressure when there are high expectations. Bosnia and Herzegovina played two under 2.5 goals matches from their past five outings. When we look at Slovakia vs Bosnia and Herzegovina's h2h record, two out of three games had more than two goals in the back of the net.

Team News, Preview, and Slovakia vs Bosnia and Herzegovina Lineups

Slovakia

The home team will have increased pressure to deliver against a better team than Luxembourg a few days earlier. The additional burden on the home team's players will be the fact that Slovakia lost both home matches against Bosnia and Herzegovina in the past. It will be curious to see how manager Francesco Calzona picks his squad, or whether there will be some changes for the upcoming match. For now, there are no injury concerns.

Provisional lineup: Dubravka, Hancko, Satka, Gyomber, Pekarik, Duda, Lobotka, Kucka, Haraslin, Polievka, Suslov.

Bosnia and Herzegovina

For the visitors, the big pressure came off after they defeated Iceland in Zenica and they will be looking to add another point or three to give them some confidence in the next qualifying window. New manager Faruk Hadzibegic quickly found his best team and made sure they deliver in front of their home fans.

Provisional lineup: Sehic, Sanicanin, Milicevic, Ahmedhodzic, Gazibegovic, Krunic, Tahirovic, Hadziahmetovic, Dedic, Demirovic, Dzeko.

Starting lineups

Starting lineups are usually released 60 minutes before kick-off.

Player to Watch: Rade Krunic

AC Milan's Rade Krunic was the star of the show for Bosnia and Herzegovina against Iceland scoring twice which put his tally to four goals in 28 appearances for his country. Krunic is not having the best of seasons for the Italian giants, but at least he performed admirably for his country.
