The Netherlands and Bosnia-Herzegovina meet in a Group 1 UEFA Nations League match. The match will be played on Sunday, from 17:00, on Johan Cruijff Arena.
After at one point they had a series of seven official matches in a row without failure (six victories), the Dutch reached five games in a row without a victory. The last three were tied, 0-0 in Bosnia (Nations League), 1-1 in Italy (Nations League) and 1-1 with Spain (friendly).
Bosnia and Herzegovina is also going through a difficult period. The national team led by Dusan Bajevic comes to this duel after a series of six matches in a row without a victory. After the draw with the Netherlands, Bosnia was defeated 0-3 in Poland, the leader of group 1, and 0-2 at home by Iran, in a friendly match.
In order to hope to win Group 1, the Dutch need a victory over Bosnia. Their mission will not be a simple one, considering the fact that Itaia did not manage to defeat Bosnia at home (1-1). Edin Dzeko will not play for the guests, and this is a huge loss for Bosnia’s offensive. We are counting on a maximum of three changes to the table, but also on the fact that Bosnia will not score in this confrontation.
The previous direct duel took place in October, in 2020, and ended in a draw (0-0) in Bosnia;
The Netherlands ranks 3rd in Group 1 (five points), while Bosnia and Herzegovina is last (two points);
Bosnia has the weakest defense in Group 1, with six goals conceded in four matches;
Bosnia’s last victory in an official match dates back to November 2019, 3-0 in Liechtenstein, in the EURO 2020 qualifiers;
PREDICTION: Netherlands to win @ 1,35
