England’s route to the EUROs takes two stops on the road to Germany this week, with the Three Lions first coming up against Bosnia and Herzegovina at St. James’ Park on Monday. But, can Gareth Southgate’s side record a victory over their rivals?
Before Betting On England vs Bosnia
Big decision will be made by Gareth Southgate over the next seven days, as the England boss will need to cut down his squad for the upcoming EUROs. This friendly at St. James’ Park on Monday will give him a perfect opportunity to see some of his fringe players in action, with top stars such as Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham likely to be given rests.
The Three Lions have been in consistent form since the World Cup, winning six of their last ten internationals. However, they were below their best in the latest international break after playing out a draw against Belgium and losing to Brazil. Anthony Gordon could be given a start in this warm-up match after impressing for Newcastle United throughout 2023-24. A positive display could put him in a prime position for a starting berth on the left-hand side of the attack.
Bosnia will play no part at the EUROs this summer after underperforming throughout qualification. Their only victories were recorded against minnows Liechtenstein, while heavy defeats have been inflicted over the last 12 months against Portugal, Luxembourg, and Slovakia.
Bosnia’s defensive record will give England a lot of confidence ahead of this friendly, as they have kept just one clean sheet in their last ten matches. Meanwhile, Bosnia have conceded 13 goals across their last four matches.
