Bosnia and Herzegovina will welcome Ukraine to Bilino Polje for a one-on-one UEFA EURO Qualifier clash on Thursday at 19:45 GMT.
Key Highlights
Ukraine Looking to Make it into Euro 2024 with a Semi-Final Triumph
Ukraine has been a mainstay in UEFA Euro competitions for the past ten years. They have qualified for the last three editions of the tournament, and they were in the quarter-finals at Euro 2020.
They missed an automatic berth at the Euro 2024 tournament by a fine margin, finishing a close third in Group C behind second-placed Italy on goal difference after a barren draw at home to Italy.
Ukraine will look to win the semi-final qualifier at Bosnia and Herzegovina as they bid to make it into the final against either Israel or Iceland on Tuesday.
Bosnia and Herzegovina Looking to Upset Euro Mainstays Ukraine
Bosnia-Herzegovina were disappointing in their Euro 2024 group stage, missing out on automatic qualification to the tournament after winning just three times and losing seven times in the ten rounds of fixtures in Group J.
Bosnia manager Savo Milosevic will look to have his charges ready for a tough clash against Ukraine on Thursday.
Bosnia-Herzegovina ended last year with 11 straight defeats and conceded 11 goals in the process. Ranked 71st by FIFA, they will look to kickstart 2024 on a positive and winning start.
