Bosnia and Herzegovina

Current form
Bosnia and Herzegovina failed the qualifying tournament for the European Championship and did not please their fans in the League of Nations. In four rounds, they managed to collect only one point, drawing with Hungary (0:0). With one point in their assets, the Bosnians are at the bottom of the tournament table and are four points behind Hungary and the Netherlands. A defeat today will mean that the team will go to League B next season.
In the last round, Bosnia and Herzegovina hosted Hungary on their home field and failed to score even one point (0:2). The opponent scored one goal in each half. Sergei Barbarez team had a significant territorial advantage, made three shots on target, but were unable to score even a consolation goal.
The Bosnians play very straightforwardly. You can see frequent passes into the penalty area to Dzeko with the hope that the aged forward will be able to create something at the opponent goal with his experience and individual skill. This tactic works from time to time, but in matches against serious opponents it is hard to count on anything. You can recall that they lost to the same "orange" with a score of 2:5.
Disqualifications and injuries
Due to injuries, Kolasinac and Radelić will not play today. The appearance of Gazibegovic and Dedić is questionable. Katić will serve a disqualification.

The hosts have a noticeable advantage in class, a solid selection of players in all positions, and there is a decent fight for a place in the starting lineup. Bosnia and Herzegovina plays quite straightforwardly, but it should be noted that the players give their all in each of the matches, in the first round they lost to the German team only by one goal, it is unlikely that the guests will simply give up the game today without a fight. We think that due to their decent dedication, the Bosnians will be able to avoid a major defeat. Plus, Germany in the current League of Nations has won only one game with an advantage of more than one goal.
Our prediction is a victory for the Bosnia and Herzegovina team with an Asian handicap (+2.5) for a coefficient of 1.96
Bet on total
Germany has a powerful attacking potential, the team has distinguished itself with its goals in all matches, it is unlikely that it will be different today. At the same time, Bosnia and Herzegovina has an experienced Dzeko, who is capable of creating and realizing a moment on his own. In the first round, the teams exchanged goals, which we expect today, especially since the odds for this are quite decent.
Second bet - both teams to score with odds of 2.28
Bet on corners
In eight of their last nine home games in the Nations League, Germany have not taken more than seven corners. We don't think the hosts will be able to overcome such a serious mark for corners today.
