Bosnia and Herzegovina – Germany: Initial situation
Reaching Group A of the Nations League is definitely one of the biggest successes in Bosnia and Herzegovina history and the fans are excited to see the German team. The visitors are on top of the standings with a good couple of games behind them. The atmosphere will definitely be electrifying in the standings which may take this game in unpredictable direction.
Bosnia and Herzegovina Stats & Form
After reaching the 2014 FIFA World Cup, making it to the top tier of the Nations League is the greatest success in the history of Bosnia and Herzegovina football. This small country definitely deserves the respect for that but their recent results are far from promising. They are third in the group with only one point, after playing a scoreless draw against Hungary and losing 5-2 against the Netherlands. That is one of the seven consecutive losses Bosnia and Herzegovina had in the last calendar year and their only win in that stretch was against Liechtenstein. Edin Dzeko is still the key figure on the roster and Fenerbahce’s striker is expected to be a threat for Germany’s goal.
Germany Stats & Form
It’s been seven years since Germany won the FIFA Confederations Cup, the last trophy they put in their showcase. Germany has a young and potent roster led by Julian Nagelsmann, one of the best young coaches in the world. Still, failing to win the EURO on home soil proved that this generation has yet to reach their full potential. Jamal Musiala is the new leader of the team and given his talent, Germany is one of the favorites to win the Nations League. They are off to a good start, beating Hungary 5-0 at home and playing 2-2 in the Netherlands. Now, Germany has seven wins, two draws, and one loss in the last ten games. They have scored at least two goals in six of their last eight games overall.
Bosnia and Herzegovina – Germany: Head to Head
These two teams have played twice before and both games were friendlies. The first one took place back in 2002 when the score was 1-1 and eight years later Germany won 3-1.
Bosnia and Herzegovina – Germany Odds

Betting tip and prediction: Bosnia and Herzegovina – Germany (11.10.2024)
Bosnia and Herzegovina is going through a terrible week as floods have taken numerous lives but the game against Germany is still on the schedule and will most likely take place on Thursday. The stadium in Zenica had hosted the biggest stars of European football and for the first time will host the German national team. The home team will be highly motivated to play against the famous opponent but it is hard to believe that it will be enough to avoid another loss. Germany had a disappointing early exit from the EURO this summer as they were eliminated the the quarterfinal against Spain in front of the home fans. Now, Germany has a lot to prove and the young players are using every opportunity to do that. The Bundesliga is under way and they are all in competitive shape which will impact the pace of this game. Bosnia and Herzegovina is not a team that will close themselves in the penalty box trying to survive, first because that doesn’t go in line with their playing style and second, they want to put on a show for the home fans. Germany’s win is unquestionable but given the odds, it is not worthy to go with it. Instead, given the fact that their both games in the competition this season went over 3.5 goals, we go with the same bet for this one.
