Bosnia and Herzegovina vs Northern Ireland Predictions

• Bosnia-Herzegovina lost just three of their last 20 home matches.
• Bosnia-Herzegovina beat Northern Ireland twice in 2018.
• Northern Ireland won just three of their last 14 away assignments.

Northern Ireland to fall short?

The Ian Baraclough era in Northern Ireland didn’t get off to the most promising of starts last month, and after a somewhat respectable 1-1 opening salvo in Romania, a 5-1 thumping at home to Norway really set knees knocking.

A trip to play Bosnia-Herzegovina in Zenica represents another really tough test for Baraclough and the Green and White Army, and the classier hosts will expect to triumph at Northern Ireland’s expense.

Bosnia-Herzegovina and Northern Ireland met as recently as 2018 when the teams shared a Nations League Group, where the Zmajevi secured wins both home and away in the sides’ brace of encounters.

With a strong squad that includes Miralem Pjanic, Sead Kolasinac Edin Dzeko, and a home record that shows just three defeats in 20 games since 2014, Bosnia-Herzegovina are worth backing to win again on Thursday at the prices on offer, while our correct score prediction tips the Zmajevi the score twice against Northern Ireland for the third time on the spin in a 2-1 triumph.
