Comments and predictions for Netherlands vs Bosnia-Herzegovina: Bombing the away team

Latest information on Netherlands vs Bosnia-Herzegovina forces

Ronald Koeman has changed the Netherlands squad after the team was eliminated from Euro 2024. Marten de Roon and Georginio Wijnaldum were left out of the squad, Daley Blind announced his international retirement, and Memphis Depay, despite being a star striker with 46 goals, remains clubless and was also left out of the squad. Steven Bergwijn, after moving to the Saudi Pro League, was also left out.

With key players absent, Brian Brobbey is now the leading candidate to start up front, alongside Joshua Zirkzee and Wout Weghorst. Liverpool's Cody Gakpo could take on the false nine role. Micky van de Ven and Joey Veerman both withdrew through injury, so Jan Paul van Hecke and Justin Kluivert were called up as replacements.

Bosnia could call upon Edin Dzeko, the all-time leading scorer with 65 international goals, after missing the last game through injury. Ajax midfielder Benjamin Tahirovic could feature in midfield alongside Red Star Belgrade's Rade Krunic. Atalanta BC's Sead Kolasinac, the visitors' most experienced defender, could join a back three on Saturday night.

Latest football commentary on Netherlands vs Bosnia-Herzegovina

After finishing third in Group D at Euro 2024, the Netherlands impressed by beating Romania and eliminating Turkey to reach the semi-finals, where they faced England. They fought back, but a late Ollie Watkins goal after a controversial Three Lions equaliser saw them eliminated. The Oranje also came close to winning the title in the 2019 Nations League semi-finals, beating England 3-1 after extra time, but eventually lost 1-0 to Portugal in the final.

To achieve this, the Netherlands topped a group that included Belgium, Poland and Wales. However, this season, a top-two finish in the group would be enough to secure a place in the new Nations League quarter-finals. With Virgil van Dijk remaining as captain, Koeman’s squad will be in contention for key games this month, including against Bosnia and Germany, the latter coming next Tuesday.

Bosnia-Herzegovina, promoted to League A from League B last season, failed to qualify for Euro 2024, finishing fifth in their group. They were eliminated from the play-offs by Ukraine and have failed to maintain their positive form from the Nations League. Under Sergej Barbarez, the current squad face a major challenge, facing strong sides like the Netherlands and Germany. With a third-place finish in their group leading to the relegation play-offs and a fourth-place finish automatically relegated, Bosnia will need at least a point in Eindhoven to keep their chances of avoiding relegation alive, before facing Hungary next week.

The Netherlands, despite being close to reaching the Euro final in July, will be aiming for an easy win over Bosnia to prepare well for the crucial match against Germany.
