Bosnia & Herzegovina vs Netherlands Prediction & Betting tips
Frank de Boer’s debut as national coach of the Dutch national team fell into the water with a home defeat, but he does not have to wait long for a second chance. On Sunday evening, the away game against Bosnia-Herzegovina awaits in group A of the Nations League, which could definitively put a line this week due to European Championship participation.
Bosnia and Herzegovina:
Bosnia and Herzegovina is in sack and ashes. The country lost in the European Championship playoffs on Wednesday evening after penalties from Northern Ireland, which means that it can forget about participating in next year’s European Championship. “We’ve done our best, but it’s no different,” said star player Edin Dzeko. That Northern Ireland goal came almost out of nowhere. It is not easy to have to play for 120 minutes so early in the season. This sucks, but we have to move on. Whether I stay with the national team? I don’t want to think about that just yet. ‘
Bosnian morale has thus taken a serious dent, while the starting team against Northern Ireland has been extinguished. Chances are, therefore, that national coach Dusan Bajevic will rotate a bit and that well-known names such as Sead Kolasinac, Edin Visca, Miralem Pjanic and captain Dzeko will be spared the meeting against Poland a few days later. After all, that is the main rival in the fight against relegation to group B.
Netherlands:
The Dutch national team has entered a new era, after Frank de Boer was appointed as successor to Ronald Koeman who left for FC Barcelona. There was a lot to do around his appointment. De Boer is indeed the player who wore the captain’s armband most often in the history of Orange, but as a trainer he already suffered some scratches at Inter, Crystal Palace and Atlanta United, despite a successful start at Ajax. With this job he hopes to be able to polish his trainer’s face again.
However, De Boer had a false start on Tuesday-evening by losing 0-1 to Mexico in the Johan Cruijff Arena, after a penalty kick caused by Nathan Aké. The Orange played faintly and listlessly, although that didn’t bother De Boer: ‘Of course I have a bad feeling, because I always want to win. However, we have not focused our arrows on this game, but on next Sunday. The Netherlands did indeed play with a kind of fantasy arrangement, in which various players were spared, and Teun Koopmeiners and Owen Wijndal were allowed to make their debut. On Sunday evening, the Orange squad will undoubtedly appear at the kick-off with the strongest possible team, although De Boer will have to appoint a replacement for the suspended Memphis Depay.
