Bosnia & Herzegovina vs the Netherlands Preview

Bosnia & Herzegovina

Bosnia & Herzegovina will hope for a different match in Zenica on Tuesday when they welcome the Netherlands for the last match of League A Group 3.

Sergej Barbarez’s men are assured to finish at the bottom of the group, currently four points shy of third-placed Hungary. Their record also read that they have collected a solitary point, scored three times in five attempts, and conceded a whopping 16 times.

They conceded 7 of these goals in their last match against group winners Germany. Sergej Barbarez’s 5-3-2 formation has come under criticism for its pragmatic nature, leaving Bosnia and Herzegovina’s attack blunted.

The manager will look to make a few changes to the squad and starting 11 in Zenica, hoping for a different performance.

Netherlands

Ronald Koeman and his Netherlands charges hammered Hungary 4-0 last Saturday, underscoring their good run of form and securing their place in the Nations League quarter-finals, just behind Germany in League A Group 3.

Our free football predictions show that the final match against Bosnia and Herzegovina will be academic. Ronald Koeman is likely to shuffle the pack in this match, giving a rest to some of the key players and giving the fringe members of the squad a run out.

However, Netherlands will hope to keep their momentum, and the gaffer will pick a team strong enough to win. Oranje have not reported any injury worries, which means they will have the strength and depth to go for the win away from home.

Bosnia & Herzegovina vs Netherlands Prediction

• Pick: Netherlands to Win
• Odds: 1.315 (22Bet)
• Score prediction: Bosnia and Herzegovina 0-3 Netherlands

Bosnia-Herzegovina have the worst defensive record in the UEFA Nations League competition so far; they have conceded 16 goals at the point of writing. Their poor form has seen them lose 10 out of their last 11 outings, with the other match ending in a draw.

The poor run also includes a heavy 5-2 hammering by their opponents on Tuesday, Netherlands, on September 7th.

Ronald Koeman’s Netherlands have already booked a place in the quarter-finals after scoring four times against Hungary and keeping a clean sheet last Saturday. Their in-form players, Teun Koopmeiners, Denzel Dumfries, Wout Weghorst, and Cody Gakpo, who were all on target against Hungary, will be available for selection, tilting the tie firmly in Oranje’s favor.

The 22Bet expert soccer predictions underscore why the Netherlands are the favourites to emerge victorious away to Bosnia and Herzegovina on Tuesday.

Bosnia & Herzegovina vs Netherlands Prediction, Betting Tip

• Pick: Goals Scored in Both Halves – Yes
• Odds: 1.58 (22Bet)

Going into this match, Ronald Koeman’s charges have shown a brilliant streak in attack; they have scored 12 goals in five outings, with only Germany outscoring them in League A Group 3, with 17 goals.

Koeman’s 4-3-3 is fluid in midfield, manned by de Jong, Reijnders, and Gravenberch. Liverpool’s Gravenberch is especially in a purple patch and will be influential in the match against Bosnia and Herzegovina. In attack, Malen and Gakpo provide the width, pace, and fluidity when they cut into the inside spaces and false number 10s to support Weghorst, who is the target man.

On their part, Bosnia and Herzegovina’s 5-3-2 formation, preferred by Sergej Barbarez, is reactive, rigid, and porous. The formation is set up to minimize leaking goals but comes at the cost of attack potency; however, given they have conceded 16 times in five outings, the defense-first approach has not worked.

Football prediction analysis favors a strong showing by the Netherlands and a healthy win by a three-goal margin, increasing the chances of goals being scored in both halves.
