Bosnia And Herzegovina vs Ukraine Predictions
- Ukraine won two of their last three away Euro 2024 qualifiers, although none of their games in Group C were played at home
- Bosnia-Herzegovina lost seven of their last nine qualifiers, only managing to beat Liechtenstein twice during that run
- Bosnia-Herzegovina conceded two or more goals in six of their last nine qualifiers
Back Zbirna to slay the Dragons
Ukraine have too much ability and motivation to be prevented from qualifying by an ordinary Bosnia-Herzegovina side in Thursday’s play-off semi-final.
Last November, Serhiy Rebrov’s side were unlucky not to be awarded an 89th-minute penalty in their 0-0 draw against Italy that, if converted, would have seen them through in the finals automatically at the Azzurri’s expense. It was a remarkable achievement for Zbirna to even come that close during a campaign where a military conflict ravaged their country and forced the team to play all their ‘home’ games elsewhere.
Rebrov has harnessed a talented group of individuals into a solid unit with real prospects of making the latter stages in Germany if they make it through.
Dragons duo are too long in the tooth
In contrast, Bosnia-Herzegovina would be there to make up the numbers. The Dragons are in the play-offs largely thanks to their Nations League B winning campaign of almost two years ago – when Edin Dzeko was only 36 and Miralem Pjanic was closer to his peak at 31.
The aging duo remain key players for Savo Milosevic, who has taken over at the end of a golden generation and before the next one has properly taken root. The squad did not gel during the qualifying programme, losing seven of their last nine games and only managing a narrow 2-1 home win over lowly Liechtenstein.
It seems almost inconceivable that they can beat Ukraine or even stop the visitors from scoring, despite Milosevic having a half-decent set of defenders at his disposal. Ukraine’s odds are good enough to take them to win in 90 minutes – they have a superb mentality and enough quality to score two or more goals against the hapless hosts.
