Slovakia vs. Bosnia and Herzegovina: Preview and betting tips

Slovakia will face perhaps the most important game of the year on Sunday. If they want to keep their chances of qualifying for Euro 2024 good, they must beat Bosnia and Herzegovina at home. What to expect from the match and what to bet on?

Slovakia entered the qualifiers in the worst possible way, playing goalless at home to Luxembourg. At the same time, it was not significantly better than the underdog, the opponent was combinatively and technically better.

Bosnia, on the other hand, was very good. In one of the important competitions for the promotion at home, it crossed Iceland, the participant of two of the last four top events defeated 3: 0. So she goes to Slovakia relaxed and even a draw is enough.

Slovakia’s key figures

Dávid Hancko showed his versatility on Thursday, the stopper shone in the left-back role and his centres were dangerous. The new offensive trio of Tomas Suslov, Robert Polievka and Lukas Haraslin also showed potential, but the latter in particular needs to improve his finishing.

Bosnia’s key figures

At 37, striker and national team icon Edin Džeko is still shining for Inter Milan, with a record of 11+3. Central midfielder Rade Krunic is gaining experience in the centre of AC Milan’s midfield, although he is not a stable member of the line-up.

What to expect and what to bet on?

Slovakia is really in a big crisis. It has won only one of its last nine games, while playing against mediocre teams like Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan and Belarus in the Nations League. It has only drawn with Montenegro and Chile in friendlies.

Bosnia, on the other hand, is on a positive note, having lost only one of its last nine matches. It has also done well away from home, losing only one of its last seven away games to Romania and drawing in France.

Considering the discomfort in the Slovak team, the dissatisfaction and pressure of the fans on the coaching staff, as well as the good entry into the qualification and the overall form of Bosnia, I think that the visitors will not lose.
