Bosnia and Herzegovina vs Netherlands Predictions

• Both teams scored in nine of Bosnia-Herzegovina’s last 13 fixtures.
• The Netherlands kept just two clean sheets in their last 10 away games.
• Bosnia-Herzegovina drew 1-1 in two of their last three matches.

Frank de Boer targeting first win

The Netherlands’ era under newly appointed Head Coach Frank de Boer got off to an uninspiring start in mid-week in the Oranje’s 1-0 friendly reverse at home to Mexico on Wednesday.

De Boer’s appointment wasn’t greeted with universal enthusiasm in the Netherlands, and after his team’s limp showing against the Mexicans, a number of observers, pundits and ex-players have already started to stick the boot in.

A positive response is required then for the Dutch in Bosnia-Herzegovina on Sunday then, and with top spot in Nations League B Group 1 potentially on offer, Netherlands and de Boer will be doubly determined to succeed.

Bosnia-Herzegovina will hope to bounce back quickly from their own mid-week misery, after the Zmajevi were beaten by Northern Ireland on penalties in a crucial Euro 2020 qualification play-off contest following an initial 1-1 draw.

That was the third time in as many games and the ninth time in 13 matches where both teams found the net in fixtures involving Bosnia-Herzegovina, and the evidence suggests that the same market is worth considering for their meeting with the Netherlands this weekend.

The Dutch have been knocked out of their goal-scoring groove of late, though their record of scoring at least once in 16 of their last 19 competitive matches points to a consistent scoring knack, however, the Netherlands have kept just two clean sheets in 10 attempts on the road, highlighting a defensive weakness that should allow Bosnia-Herzegovina to create chances.
