Bosnia & Herzegovina Team Overview
Bosnia and Herzegovina are enduring a challenging period, unable to secure a win in their last 12 matches. During this stretch, they've managed only two draws and suffered a heavy 7-0 defeat to Germany. Their last victory dates back to October 2023, when they triumphed over Liechtenstein. The squad doesn't face any significant absences, and both the 39-year-old Edin Džeko and former Arsenal defender Sead Kolašinac are expected to feature in Bucharest.

⚽ Goal Prediction
Recently, Romania have shown no issues in creating and converting scoring opportunities, netting 15 goals in their last 5 matches. Considering Bosnia and Herzegovina's extended run of poor form, a total of over 1.5 goals for Romania seems a reasonable prediction.
🚩 Corner Prediction
Bosnia's poor performances have also affected their other statistical metrics, with corners being no exception. Over their last 7 matches, the team have averaged just 2.0 corners per game, one of the lowest figures in Europe. It's likely Romania will dominate the upcoming match, so we'll go with under 3.5 total corners for Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Editor's Prediction
Bookmakers have little faith in Bosnia: the "blue and yellows" haven't secured a win in over a year and a half, losing 10 of their last 12 matches, while Romania are in their best form in recent times. A surprise result seems unlikely in this upcoming game, so let's go with a bet on Romania to win. The final score might be around 3-1.
