Slovakia is going head to head with Bosnia & Herzegovina starting on 26 Mar 2023 at 18:45 UTC at Tehelne Pole Stadion stadium, Bratislava city, Slovakia. The match is a part of the European Championship, Qualification Group J. Currently, Slovakia rank 4th, while Bosnia & Herzegovina hold 1st position.
Slovakia will be looking to bounce back from a disappointing goalless draw with Luxembourg when they host Bosnia-Herzegovina in the second round of Euro 2024 qualifiers on Sunday.
Following an impressive 3-0 victory over Iceland on Thursday, Bosnia-Herzegovina find themselves joint-top of Group J alongside Portugal.
Despite the absence of captain and leader Milan Skriniar, Slovakia were expected to kick-start their qualifying campaign with a straightforward win against Luxembourg on home soil, but the minnows had other ideas.
Slovakia racked up 18 shots while enjoying the lion’s share of possession on Thursday, limiting the visitors to just two attempts on target, but the team containing big-name players such as Napoli’s Stanislav Lobotka and Newcastle United’s Martin Dubravka failed to make their dominance count.
Francesco Calzona’s men have now drawn each of their last four games across all competitions, with a UEFA Nations League draw against Belarus preceding friendly draws with Montenegro and Chile at the end of 2022.

Slovakia vs Bosnia and Herzegovina Team News
Weakened by the retirement of iconic midfielder Marek Hamsik, who waved goodbye to international football following his 136th appearance back in November, Slovakia’s midfield is now marshalled by Stanislav Lobotka.
The 28-year-old has featured in all of Napoli’s Serie A matches this season, playing a pivotal role in his club’s unstoppable title charge, with Juraj Kucka and Ondrej Duda expected to join Lobotka in Slovakia’s engine room.
With key centre-back Milan Skriniar out injured, the Falcons are likely to start with Norbert Gyomber and Lubomir Satka in the middle of the defence, ahead of goalkeeper Martin Dubravka.

Slovakia vs Bosnia and Herzegovina Betting Trends
Slovakia proved once again that they are seriously lacking in striker options. Their dull goalless draw against Luxembourg showed how many problems there are within this particular squad. The Slovaks had three out of their last five matches with fewer than three goals scored, and their last two games ended without any goals.
That is especially evident when they are playing at home which shows that this team is struggling with pressure when there are high expectations. Bosnia and Herzegovina played two under 2.5 goals matches from their past five outings.
