Bosnia and Herzegovina vs Luxembourg Prediction: What to expect from this match?

Prediction for the match between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Luxembourg, which will take place on June 20. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Bosnia and Herzegovina

Bosnia has never been among the best teams on the European continent, playing only once at the World Cup (2014 in Brazil) and never qualifying for the Euro. The start of European qualification 2024 shows that the team's status has not changed - they are still struggling to qualify for the tournament. Having started the cycle with a 3:0 win against Iceland, the Bosnians have lost two away games - 0:2 in Slovakia and 0:3 in Portugal. Bosnia was never expected to win against Portugal, the clear favorite and Group J leader, but the meeting with Slovakia seemed a far more critical setback. After all, Slovakia is potentially Bosnia's main rival in the battle for second place and a place in the European Championship finals.

Luxembourg

The battle for second place in Group J between Slovakia and Bosnia could include Luxembourg. Once humble in recent years, they have improved hugely and are increasingly a severe contender even for the traditionally best teams in Europe. A game against Portugal in the current qualifying, in which the Luxembourgers lost 0:6, has not confirmed this thesis. Still, an away game against Slovakia, ending in a goalless draw, may be seen as another achievement for the modest side. In the first leg in June, Luxembourg beat Liechtenstein (2:0) to move into a clear third place in the group after three qualifying rounds. Given the development of the Luxembourg team in the last few years, an appearance at UEFA EURO 2024, while unlikely, is still a possibility.

Expert Betting Tips

A little over a year ago, Bosnia played a home friendly against Luxembourg. The score was 0:0 until the 89th minute when Edin Dzeko scored the winning goal to make it 1:0. There is reason to believe the upcoming meeting will be just as challenging and unproductive. As in their friendly, and just as recently, in a vital away game against Slovakia, Luxembourg will undoubtedly try to play carefully again, ensuring they secure their own goal in the first instance. The presence of Dzeko, who can create a goal out of nothing, produces the Bosnians the favorites, but they will not win easily.
