The UEFA Euro Qualifier between Iceland and Bosnia & Herzegovina will occur at the Laugardalsvollur on Tuesday at 12:15 am IST.
Iceland will welcome Bosnia & Herzegovina in the ongoing UEFA Euro 2024 Championship qualifiers in the Group J clash. The Bosnians will be bidding to make it back-to-back victories in Group J. The visitors are fourth in the section on six points. They will enter the contest off the back of a 2-1 win over Liechtenstein. On the other hand, Iceland is placed fifth and recently endured a 3-1 loss to Luxembourg.
Iceland famously competed in Euro 2016 and the 2018 World Cup. They progressed to the quarter-finals of the European Championship in their only appearance in the finals of the competition. However, things have changed a lot for the Scandinavians. Iceland thumped Liechtenstein 7-0 at the end of March. But they have been beaten in their last three matches. This includes a 3-1 reverse away to Luxembourg on Friday night. The national side has three home fixtures now and will need to showcase their talent. A win in all three will give them the potential to sneak into the top two in the closing stages of the qualification campaign.
Meanwhile, Bosnia & Herzegovina will enter the match on the back of a 2-1 win over Liechtenstein. Edin Dzeko was early on the scoresheet before an own goal from Simon Luchinger made it 2-0. Meho Kodro’s side is four points behind second-placed Slovakia in the same number of matches. Naturally, this match is important for the Bosnians to pick up the coveted three points. Bosnia-Herzegovina have never qualified for the finals of a European Championship. That can change this time around.
Iceland’s probable starting lineup: Runarsson, Lunddal, Palsson, Sampsted, Finnsson, S Magnusson, Traustason, Gudmundsson, Porsteinsson, Finnbogason, Haraldsson
Bosnia & Herzegovina‘s probable starting lineup: Sehic, Milicevic, Hadzikadunic, Kolasinac, Dedic, Nalic, Pjanic, Krunic, Demirovic, Dzeko, Bilbija
