Handicap of Bosnia and Herzegovina (0)
Handicap of Bosnia and Herzegovina (0)
Slovakia unexpectedly lost 2 points in the first game against Luxembourg (0:0). This is the fifth meeting under the leadership of the new coach – Francesco Calzona, who has never led the national team to a victory. For example, in the League of Nations, the Slovak Falcons lost to Azerbaijan (1:2) and could not beat Belarus (1:1).
In the post-match interview, Calzona said he was happy with the result of the match against Luxembourg, which put his level of competence in question and caused a wave of criticism.
In addition to the poor performance of Slovakia, they have to come to terms with the absence of their leader, Milan Skrinjar.
On the contrary, Bosnia and Herzegovina gave a great match. She defeated Iceland (3:0), and in terms of the game she was superior to her rival for the head. The new coach of the national team, Faruk Hadjibegić, was able to translate his ideas into the team’s style of play, which surprised his colleague.
It is worth noting that the leader of the national team Edin Dzeko did not play in his debut match, he suffered a slight injury, but he will probably be ready for the match against Slovakia. It is worth noting that the composition of Bosnia and Herzegovina is quite old. For many, Euro 2024 will be the last chance to play at this level, so I expect the highest motivation from the veterans.
Slovakia under Francesco Calzona looks absolutely uncompetitive. I assume that Bosnia and Herzegovina will be much closer to victory.
