Italy vs Bosnia and Herzegovina prediction and betting tips - June 9, 2024
In Empoli at the Stadio Carlo Castellani, an international friendly match between the national teams of Italy and Bosnia and Herzegovina will take place. The match will be held on Sunday, June 9. The game is scheduled to start at 20:45 Central European Time. The prediction for this match has been made by Dailysports experts.
Italy
The Italians secured their place in the final stage of the European Championship after a tense battle in the qualifying rounds, leaving behind the strong Ukrainian team. It's worth noting that Spalletti's team will head to Germany as the defending champions of the continent.
Preparation for the Euros began for the Azzurri with a rather dull draw against the Turks. No goals were scored, but the Italian squad wasn't at its strongest. I believe that in this match, different players will appear on the field in the starting lineup, and the coach will have more headaches in choosing the main squad for the Euros.
Bosnia and Herzegovina
Bosnia did not qualify for the upcoming European Championship, so they are already preparing for the autumn matches of the Nations League. The team lost in the playoff matches to Ukraine, so they won't be seen on the fields of Germany.
The Bosnians have already played one friendly match in June. Barbarez's team was defeated by the English in Newcastle with a score of 3-0. Interestingly, throughout the entire match, the Bosnians didn't manage to shoot on target even once.
Interesting Facts and Head-to-Head Encounters
- Italy has been undefeated since October of last year.
- Bosnia has lost five consecutive matches.
- Bosnia and Herzegovina has never beaten the Italian national team: 3 defeats and 1 draw.
Italy — Bosnia and Herzegovina Prediction
The teams differ in the quality of players, and the guests are unlikely to expect a decent result. I will bet that Italy will not lose, and there will be no more than 3.5 goals scored in the match.
