Bosnia’s national football team will play host to Netherlands in the group-stage clash of the Nations League campaign at the Bilino Polje. Both teams are fighting for different reasons as a win for the Oranje would secure them a spot in the quarterfinals of the competition.
Following their disappointing run in the Nations League this year, Bosnia’s national football team are sitting at the bottom of the group standings with just a mere point after five games. Germany dismantled the home side with a 7-0 scoreline in a statement win, thrashing them out of the competition.
Meanwhile, Netherlands’ national football team have maintained their superb run in the Nations League campaign and are sitting second on the table with eight points after five games. The Oranje have struggled at the start of the competition but without a doubt, this will be an easy win for Ronald Koeman’s squad.
