Bosnia & Herzegovina vs Italy Prediction & Betting tips
With a 2-0 win, the Italian national soccer team overtook Poland on Sunday evening and moved into first place in Group A1 of the UEFA Nations League. This means that Squadra Azzurra has the group win and the associated entry into the Final Four completely in their own hands.
With an away win at Bosnians, who arithmetically no longer have any chance of relegation, the result between Poland and the Netherlands in the parallel game would be completely irrelevant.
Because the Bosnians go into this home game with a weakened substitute, the odds of all bookmakers clearly move towards the Azzurri in the run-up to the game between Bosnia and Italy, as the odds comparison of the betting base shows.
While Bosnia is in crisis and has not won any of the last seven international matches, Italy could hardly be better at the moment. The four-time world champion has now been unbeaten for 21 international matches in a row and has only conceded a single goal in the last six games in 14 of his own goals.
Bosnia :
The Bosnian-Herzegovinian national team has been involved in UEFA and FIFA competitions as an independent national team since the early 1990s. While in 2014 it was even enough to take part in a World Cup finals, the first successful qualification for a European Championship is still pending, despite the highly talented players.
In the European Championship qualification 2021, the Zmajevi (in German: the dragons) ended up in fourth place in the group with today’s opponents Italy as well as Finland, Greece, Armenia and Liechtenstein. Even an away game at football dwarf Armenia was lost with a total of only four wins with 2: 4.
After Bosnia had scored ten out of twelve possible points in the first edition of the Nations League and had advanced to League A ahead of Austria and Northern Ireland as the winners of Group B3, this new step backwards came as a surprise.
As Nations League group winners, the Zmajevi also had the back door to the Nations League playoffs for EURO 2021. In the semifinals, however, Northern Ireland was eliminated on penalties. Now the crisis has been perfect since Sunday with the 3-1 defeat in the Netherlands.
Not only did Bosnia and Herzegovina fail to win their seventh international match in a row, but Dušan Bajević’s men are now officially relegated from Nations League Group A1. The distance to the saving bank is five points, which can no longer be caught even with a home win against Italy.
The bookmakers don’t expect the Zmajevi to stand a chance anyway. The bookmaker Interwetten, tested by the betting base, puts out odds of 10.00 for tip 1 in Bosnia against Italy, which underlines their role as outsiders. After all, from Dzeko to Hodzic to Duljevic, several top performers are missing due to positive tests, which is why only the second garrison will be on the field again.
Italy :
The Italian national soccer team recently experienced one of its blackest hours. In the run-up to the 2018 World Cup in Russia, the four-time world champion failed in the playoffs to Sweden and was therefore condemned to watch the finals.
The upheaval at the Azzurri was correspondingly great, but Roberto Mancini has now put them back on the road to success. Absolutely nothing burned in the EM 2021 qualification. With ten wins from ten games and 37-4 goals, the Italians competed confidently to the European Championship finals, which will be fully attacked next summer.
In parallel, Italy also played well in the Nations League. In the first edition it was only enough to place second behind the eventual overall winner Portugal. In the current edition of this tournament, the 2-0 victory over Poland brought the Squadra Azzurra into the perfect starting position.
With an away win at Bosnians, who also have to do without numerous cornerstones, the group win would be in the towel. In addition to participating in the European Championship, the Italians should also play for a title in the Final Four of the Nations League.
In practically all parts of the team it seems to be right again. As you are used to from Italian teams, the defense is once again extremely stable and conceded only one goal in the last six international matches. The offensive also lasted at will. 14 goals from the last six games are currently recorded.
