Bosnia-Herzegovina v Netherlands

Bosnia-Herzegovina vs Netherlands Preview

A 7-0 humiliation at the hands of Germany on the weekend sealed Bosnia-Herzegovina's relegation from League A, while Netherlands strengthened their claims for a top two finish with a resounding 4-0 home win against Hungary, giving the Dutch a three-point lead over Hungary ahead of this final game in Group 3.

Having managed to earn just a single point so far in what has been a disastrous Nations League campaign for the hosts, Bosnia-Herzegovina only have pride left to play for as they prepare for the visit of Netherlands to their Stadion Bilino Polje on Tuesday night.

That singular point came in the form of a scoreless draw away from home at Hungary but four defeats have overshadowed that 0-0 stalemate and suggests Bosnia-Herzegovina have some way to go yet if they are to cement their place in League A in future Nations League competitions.

Defeats to Netherlands 5-2, home and away losses to Germany 2-1 and 7-0 along with a 2-0 loss to Hungary have done the damage and although Bosnia-Herzegovina hold supposed home advantage on Tuesday night, further goals and another loss looks to be on the cards here.

Indeed, eight out of Bosnia-Herzegovina's last 11 matches have produced three goals or more.

Netherlands know they need only pick up a point when they make their way to Zenica for Tuesday night's encounter against the bottom nation in Group 3, Bosnia-Herzegovina, but having already subjected their opponents to a heavy 5-2 defeat earlier in the group campaign, the Dutch will be confident of picking up all three points here.

Two wins, two draws and just one defeat have lifted Ronald Koeman's Dutch side into second place in the Group 3 table and on the brink of progressing through to the quarter-finals of this season's Nations League.

Emphatic wins against Bosnia-Herzegovina 5-2 and Hungary 4-0 were both recorded on home soil but nevertheless, the Dutch are more than capable of hitting the back of the net again when they face the Bosnians on Tuesday night.

The bigger picture shows Netherlands have been handed just three defeats in their last 13 internationals in all competitions and includes no fewer than 10 of these 13 games also resulting in Over 2.5 goals as well.

Results away from home have also been pretty steady where the Dutch have been concerned as Oranje have suffered just three losses in their previous 18 outings on the road.
