Poland are unbeaten against Bosnia in six consecutive matches: prediction for Bosnia and Herzegovina — Poland
The UEFA Nations League fourth-round match between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Poland will take place on October 5 at Bilino Polje Stadium in Zenica. The hosts have collected five points and sit second in the group, while Poland are just one point behind.
Bosnia and Herzegovina: unbeaten in three rounds
Sergej Barbarez's team have yet to lose in this Nations League campaign. After a goalless draw with Poland, Bosnia defeated Romania 4-2 and then shared the points with Sweden in a 1-1 draw, courtesy of a late goal from Kerim Alajbegovic.
Bosnia and Herzegovina have also looked confident at home, suffering just one defeat in their last eight matches while recording four wins and three draws. The game against Sweden was Edin Dzeko's final appearance for the national team, so the main attacking burden must now fall on Haris Tabakovic.
Poland: thrashing Romania and losing Lewandowski
Poland began the tournament with a 0-0 draw against Bosnia before losing 1-3 to Sweden. In the previous round, Jan Urban's side ended a five-match winless run by thrashing Romania 6-0.
Robert Lewandowski scored a hat-trick in that match, but he will now miss the game through suspension. It is a major blow for the visitors, especially given their unconvincing away form.
Match facts and head-to-head record
- Bosnia and Herzegovina have not lost any of their three matches in the current Nations League.
- Poland are unbeaten in their last six meetings with Bosnia, winning four of them.
- Poland have won just two of their last eight away matches.
It will be tougher for the visitors without Lewandowski: prediction for Bosnia and Herzegovina — Poland
Bosnia and Herzegovina have been consistently picking up points and look especially solid at home. The hosts may well be satisfied with a cautious approach, as even a draw would allow them to maintain their lead over Poland.
The Poles received a confidence boost after thrashing Romania, but Lewandowski's absence significantly weakens their attacking potential. Considering the visitors' poor away results and Bosnia's reliability at home, a tight, evenly matched game looks like the most logical outcome.
