Euro 2024 Qualifier: Iceland’s Litmus Test against Resilient Bosnia-Herzegovina
Key Stats
– Bosnia-Herzegovina’s away form remains a concern, with no wins in their last seven away games and conceding in 13 of their last 14.
– Edin Dzeko, despite being in the twilight of his career, remains a constant threat, netting in their recent clash against Liechtenstein.
Group J witnesses an electrifying showdown on Monday night as Bosnia-Herzegovina hopes to maintain their winning momentum following their victory against Liechtenstein. Their opponents, Iceland, despite their commendable journey to the quarter-finals of the 2016 European Championship and the 2018 World Cup, seem to be faltering in this campaign.
The recent form chart portrays Iceland’s struggle in Euro 2024 qualification. With just one victory against Liechtenstein and a string of defeats, including a surprising 3-1 loss to Luxembourg, Age Hareide’s team is dangling at the fifth spot with three points. Their pathway to the finals seems tough unless they clinch victories in their upcoming matches against Bosnia-Herzegovina, Luxembourg, and Liechtenstein.

Bosnia-Herzegovina, led by Meho Kodro, stands fourth with six points, courtesy of their recent 2-1 win over Liechtenstein. Edin Dzeko and a self-goal by Simon Luchinger ensured their triumph. Though they were ousted in the group stages during the 2014 World Cup, this team’s potential remains undeniable. The clash with Iceland is vital to stay in contention for a top-two finish.
Team Dynamics
Iceland will be missing their central defender, Horour Magnusson, following his red card in the match against Luxembourg. In his absence, Alfons Sampsted might be seen taking the field. Burnley’s prominent midfielder, Johann Berg Gudmundsson, is anticipated to retain his midfield position, while Alfreo Finnbogason, who has an impressive tally of 16 international goals, is likely to lead the attack.
Bosnia-Herzegovina seem fit, with no fresh injuries reported post their match against Liechtenstein. A consistent starting XI might be on the cards with stalwarts like Miralem Pjanic, Rade Krunic, Sead Kolasinac, and the indomitable Edin Dzeko expected to lead the front.
Critical Insights and Predictions
1. Match Outcome:
Considering recent forms and team statistics, a ‘both teams to score’ prediction seems viable. Iceland have scored in six of their last eight matches, and with Bosnia conceding in 13 of their last 14 away matches, this prediction gains ground.
2. Scoreline Forecast:
Bosnia emerged victorious with a 3-0 scoreline in the previous encounter. However, the performance matrix suggests a closer match this time around. A 2-2 draw appears a likely outcome, given the attacking prowess and defensive vulnerabilities of both teams.
3. Spotlight Player:
Edin Dzeko’s consistency is praiseworthy. Scoring in the recent match against Liechtenstein and with his expertise, he emerges as a promising candidate to net a goal in the upcoming fixture.
