Julian Nagelsmann will be hoping his Germany side can wrap up the top spot in the Nations League Group A standings this weekend. The national side have finally appeared to show their full potential, and all eyes will be on building momentum ahead of the World Cup in 2026.
However, Nagelsmann will be without a key star this weekend, as Florian Wirtz hasn’t trained with the camp since the team met up on Monday. Germany’s home form in 2024 looks hard to overlook this weekend, as they have won all six matches and scored 17 goals.
Their xG in home matches stands at 1.92, while they are conceding an xGA of just 0.85 per match. Overall, Germany have conceded just twice in their six home matches. Despite being without Wirtz, the nation should have enough quality in the forward areas, with Jamal Musiala set to start.
The away team will be a challenging selection to make when making a Germany vs. Bosnia & Herzegovina prediction this weekend. Sergej Barbarez’s side have shown very little in their Nations League campaign to this point, and defeat in Germany could finalize their relegation back to the second tier.
Bosnia have conceded at least two goals in three of their last five matches, and a defensive approach is once again likely this weekend, just as it was in the previous meeting between the sides last month.
Alarmingly, Bosnia have failed to win in five away matches this year, conceding three goals and an xGA average of 1.78 per match. They also looked unlikely to offer much threat in the final third, even with Edin Džeko being passed fit to feature. Bosnia have scored three times in away matches from an xG of 0.68.
Bet hereIt is hard to ignore the gulf between these sides when making football predictions. A home win for the attack-minded hosts looks a very likely outcome, even with Nagelsmann likely to hand rare minutes to some fringe players in the squad.
Bosnia’s back five and narrow midfield offered very little output in terms of when the nation had possession in the previous meeting, which allowed Germany to attack at will when they had the ball.
The influential attacking players in the final third will make the difference, with Musiala likely to be given a free role to assert his dominance behind Kai Havertz on Saturday.
Jamal Musiala always catches the eye when he is in a Germany shirt, and that will be no different this weekend. The 21-year-old has scored four goals in seven appearances for the national side since the start of the EUROs and has an xG of 0.73. Given the space he is likely to enjoy this weekend, he appears to have a solid chance to score at least once.
Also, Germany to win the most corners looks a safe betting angle this weekend. Germany have averaged 61% possession in their home matches this season, and their ability to dictate the ball will ensure that they will overpower their rivals in terms of corners, with Bosnia unlikely to win over 3.5, just as they have in three of their last five matches.
