Bosnia & Herzegovina - Italy Prediction, Picks and Tips

In group A1 of the Nations League, leader Italy visits Bosnia-Herzegovina in the last round of play. The visitors must win to secure group winnings and qualify for the semi-finals.

Bosnia and Herzegovina had a Nations League to quickly forget. With only two points from five group matches, the country has not yet managed to win a single time. Last weekend, De Draken lost 3-1 at the Netherlands, with relegation to Nations League B a fact. It will therefore be a tough job for national coach Dusan Bajevic to motivate his players for this last group match against Italy. Especially after the European Championship playoffs lost against Northern Ireland after penalties, Bosnia-Herzegovina looks like a deflating balloon. The country is not making much of it, and this international period also has to do without star player Edin Dzeko. The good news is that center-back Anel Ahmedhodzic is available again after a suspension, although he too will need hands and feet to prevent the deadly Italian attack from scoring.

Italy is working on an impressive Nations League. The Southern Europeans have been a feast for the eyes for quite some time with their very attacking and attractive play. Last weekend, Robert Lewandowski's Poland also went for the ax 2-0 thanks to goals from Jorginho and Andrea Belotti. Despite the mild result, Italy was lord and master with 62 percent possession and nineteen attempts. "Bellissima!" national coach Roberto Mancini exulted from his home in Rome, where he is currently in quarantine. 'A great team performance!' It is clever how Italy is currently manifesting itself, also because the Azzurri have to miss a lot of players this international period. Giorgio Chiellini, Leonardo Bonucci and Ciro Immobile, among others, have to miss the last and all-deciding group match against Bosnia and Herzegovina. With a win, the Italians are assured of a place in the semi-finals of the Nations League, but with a point loss in Sarajevo, they must hope that the Netherlands will not be able to win against Poland that has already been eliminated.
