Slovakia vs Bosnia & Herzegovina Prediction and Betting Tips

Slovakia take on Bosnia and Herzegovina at Tehelne Pole in Group J of the 2024 European Championship qualifiers on Sunday.

The Dragons will be looking to make it two wins from two outings following Thursday’s dominant win over Iceland.

Slovakia were denied a dream start to their qualifying campaign as they were held to a goalless draw by Luxembourg on Thursday.

This was the fourth successive draw for Francesco Calzona’s side, who have now gone six consecutive matches without a win across all competitions.

Slovakia’s last victory came in June 2022, when they edged out Azerbaijan 1-0 at the Dalga Arena courtesy of Vladimír Weiss’ late strike.

Meanwhile, Bosnia and Herzegovina turned in a performance of the highest quality on Thursday as they claimed a 3-0 victory over Iceland in their group curtain-raiser.

AC Milan midfielder Rade Krunic was at the heart of the action as he netted a first-half brace to put Faruk Hadzibegic's side in a commanding lead before Amar Dedic completed the rout in the second half.

Bosnia have now won three of their last four matches across all competitions, with a 4-1 loss to Romania in last September’s UEFA Nations League being the exception.
