The highly anticipated UEFA Nations League encounter, Bosnia vs Germany at the Bilino Polje, will take place on Friday, October 11th, 2024

Bosnia’s Struggles and Form

Coming into this match, Bosnia has gone into a string of underwhelming performances. They have not won any of their last eight matches, a run that extended beyond a 0-0  draw against Hungary in their latest match. The frustrating times in offense for Bosnia continue, as they’ve scored only 4 goals in their last six matches, conceding 13. Bosnia has had a bad showing in the Nations League thus far and currently sits tied for third place with Hungary, both teams sitting on just 1 point.

Bosnia’s Form: LLLLLD
Their low possession rate (35%) against Hungary and inefficiency in front of goal signal a challenging match ahead against a much stronger Germany.

Key Points:

• B Bosnia has struggled both offensively and defensively.
• In the last six games, they have let in 13 goals.

Germany’s Resurgence and Key Changes

Conversely, Germany goes into this game full of confidence. They currently lie top of Group 3 tied on 4 points with the Netherlands. Their last Nations League outing was a 2-2 draw against the Netherlands, with goals coming from Deniz Undav and Joshua Kimmich.

Although Germany has undergone a generational change since the retirements of Toni Kroos, Müller, and Neuer, the team remains a strong contender. Under Julian Nagelsmann, Germany has gotten a good balance between their young talents and old citizens. Coming into this tie with a 5-0 win over Hungary, they will hope to dominate Bosnia.

Germany’s Form: WDWLWD
That attacking power has been the key to success for Germany, scoring 13 goals in the last six matches. Despite conceding five goals during that time, their defensive strength remains a talking point, with Antonio Rüdiger and Jonathan Tah solidifying the backline.

Key Points:

• Germany is undefeated in their last six encounters.
• A strong attack with a mix of young talents and experience.
