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

Latest Netherlands vs Bosnia-Herzegovina team information

Ronald Koeman has overhauled the Netherlands squad following their elimination 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 has also been left out of the squad. Steven Bergwijn, after moving to the Saudi Pro League, has also been 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 Micky van de Ven and Joey Veerman have both withdrawn through injury, so Jan Paul van Hecke and Justin Kluivert have been called up as replacements.

Bosnia could call upon Edin Dzeko, their 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 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. Despite their resilience, a late Ollie Watkins goal after a controversial Three Lions equaliser saw them eliminated. The Oranje also came close to winning the title, beating England 3-1 after extra time in the 2019 Nations League semi-finals, but eventually lost 1-0 to Portugal in the final.

The Netherlands finished top of a group that included Belgium, Poland and Wales, but 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 still in charge, Koeman’s squad will be in contention for key games this month, including against Bosnia and Germany, the latter of which is next Tuesday.

Bosnia-Herzegovina, who were promoted to League A from League B last season, failed to qualify for Euro 2024, finishing fifth in their group. They were knocked out of the play-offs by Ukraine and have failed to build on their positive form from the Nations League. Under Sergej Barbarez, the current squad face a major challenge, having come up against strong sides such as the Netherlands and Germany. With a third-place finish in their group leading to the play-offs and a fourth-place automatic relegation, Bosnia will need at least a point in Eindhoven to keep their chances of avoiding relegation alive, before taking on 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.
