Bosnia and Herzegovina vs Liechtenstein Predictions

Can Bosnia boost their chances of making Euro 2020 when they meet Liechtenstein this week? This clash looks incredibly one-sided, but the hosts will be looking for a big display to send a message ahead of a crucial run of fixtures. The group wraps up in November, with the hosts aiming to land a top-two spot alongside Italy when all is said and done. They are on the verge of a crucial doubleheader, as they meet the two lowest-ranked sides in the group back to back over the next week. We see them starting off this international break with a comprehensive victory at home.

Bosnia have come close to the 2016 Euros and 2018 World Cup, but they haven’t made a major tournament since Brazil in 2014. The hosts are aiming to turn around a poor start, which has seen them lose back to back games, taking just four points from four games. Now they need to start getting points on the board in order to keep their qualifying hopes alive in this group.

The visitors are aiming for their first point in their last 18 qualifying games, as they’ve lost a string of matches at the top level. They even finished the Nations League with just one victory, having struggled to beat the likes of Armenia, North Macedonia and Gibraltar. That group points to the problems facing the visitors, who come into this clash as rank outsiders with Bosnia hotly tipped to take the points in style.

Bosnia have a fine record in home qualifiers, while they kicked off their World Cup campaign here in fine form in their last qualifying push. They won their opening three matches at home without conceding a goal, racking up a 12-0 aggregate success across those clashes. They picked off minnows Gibraltar 5-0 in their home meeting, while we expect them to have a good time against the visitors, who are leaking far too many goals in competitive matches to put up much of a fight in this clash.

In the World Cup qualifiers, Liechtenstein lost all 10 games, scoring one goal and conceding 39. They were incredibly poor, with their away results in that time brining 4-0, 5-0 and 8-0 defeats. They head into this one with six straight defeats on the road, with the Faroe Islands, North Macedonia, Italy and Armenia all scoring at least three goals against them in that time. We see Bosnia following up their high scoring form, as we’re tipping them to win with a -3 handicap. We’re also backing a 4-0 success for the hosts here following their previous strong start.
