Poland host Bosnia & Herzegovina on 25 September in Nations League B4 at PGE Narodowy in Warsaw. Poland enter the campaign without two main goalkeepers, while Bosnia play their first match since 2 July without Džeko.

Poland Enter the Game Without 2 Main Goalkeepers

Poland’s national team begins this international window without two of its main goalkeeping options. Kamil Grabara (Juventus) suffered a serious injury during Juventus training on September 19, sustaining a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his right knee. Bartłomiej Drągowski (Empoli), called up as Grabara’s replacement, was injured shortly after joining the national team camp on September 22, and Sławomir Abramowicz was then called up as his replacement.

At the same time, Poland’s attacking core is available for this international window. Robert Lewandowski (Chicago Fire), Piotr Zieliński (Inter), and Sebastian Szymański (Rennes) have all reported for duty and provide a significant attacking threat against Bosnia & Herzegovina.

Poland predicted lineup vs Bosnia & Herzegovina (4-2-3-1): Bułka; Cash, Kiwior, Wiśniewski, Puchacz; Slisz, Zieliński; Szymański, Kamiński, Zalewski; Lewandowski.

Bosnia Enters the Campaign without Džeko

Bosnia & Herzegovina head into their clash with Poland without a friendly match to prepare for this international window. Their last match was a 2-0 defeat to the United States in the round of 32 at the World Cup on 2 July, almost three months ago. The side will also be without Edin Džeko, the country’s all-time leading scorer with 73 international goals.

Injuries have further disrupted Sergej Barbarez’s squad. Kenan Busuladžić (Malmö) and Amar Dedić (Newcastle United) were unable to join the squad after picking up injuries during their club moves. Barbarez called up Benjamin Tahirović (Genk) and Ajdin Hasić (Cracovia) as replacements, while also handing international call-ups to newcomers Luka Đurić (Paderborn) and Arjan Malić (Sturm Graz).

Bosnia & Herzegovina predicted lineup vs Poland (4-2-3-1): Nikola Vasilj; Arjan Malić, Nikola Katić, Tarik Muharemović, Sead Kolašinac; Ivan Šunjić, Armin Gigović; Esmir Bajraktarević, Kerim Alajbegović, Amar Memić; Ermedin Demirović.

Poland vs Bosnia Prediction, Value Tip

  • Value tip: Poland to win and both teams to score - Yes
  • Odds: 3.60
  • 22Bet booking code: 9NM14

In the last five matches, Poland have conceded a goal in each one of them. Even though Bosnia is playing without Džeko, the main Polish goalkeepers are injured, which can be a gap in the home team’s defence.

Also, Poland scored 3 goals once and 2 goals three times in their last five games. The exception was the match against Ukraine on May 31, when they lost 2-0. This suggests they'll continue in the same vein here.

Verdict: Total over 1.5 goals - Poland 3-1 Bosnia
