The UEFA Euro Qualifiers match between Bosnia-Herzegovina and Portugal will take place at Bilino Polje on Tuesday at 12:15 am IST.
Portugal, who have already secured their place in Euro 2024, will aim for their eighth consecutive win in Group J as they face Bosnia-Herzegovina on Monday. Portugal clinched their spot in the finals with a 3-2 victory over Slovakia on Friday. Bosnia-Herzegovina, currently fourth in the group, still has a shot at a second-place finish, trailing second-placed Slovakia by four points with the same number of matches played.
Bosnia-Herzegovina, with three wins and four losses in Group J, have accumulated nine points and currently sit in fourth place. They still have a shot at claiming the second spot in the group. However, they are four points behind second-placed Slovakia, making it impossible to secure a top-two finish if they lose to Portugal and Slovakia defeats Luxembourg. Savo Milosevic’s team has won two of their last three matches, including a 2-0 victory over Liechtenstein. Bosnia-Herzegovina has a backup route to qualification through the playoffs, thanks to their UEFA Nations League ranking. While they’ve never qualified for a European Championship, they did participate in the 2014 World Cup, exiting in the group stage.
Portugal secured their Euro 2024 qualification with a 3-2 win over Slovakia, led by Cristiano Ronaldo’s brace. In Group J, Roberto Martinez’s team boasts a perfect record, winning all seven games, scoring 27 goals and conceding just two. They hold an eight-point lead over Slovakia, with Luxembourg in third, trailing by 10 points and three games left. Portugal remains undefeated since their 2022 World Cup quarter-final loss to Morocco. With a strong track record in the European Championship, including a 2016 victory, Portugal is considered a favorite for the upcoming tournament. Their remaining games are against Liechtenstein and Iceland, allowing Martinez to experiment with his squad.
Bosnia-Herzegovina probable starting lineup: Sehic, Dedic, Barisic, Hadzikadunic, Kolasinac, Pjanic, Cimirot, Stevanovic, Rahmanovic, Demirovic, Dzeko
Portugal probable starting lineup: Costa, Semedo, Inacio, Dias, Dalot, Vitinha, R. Neves, Fernandes, Felix, Ramos, Jota
