England v Bosnia & Herzegovina Friday at 20.45 CET

England prepare for their latest crack at a 1st major trophy since 1966 with a home match against two teams! Bosnia and Herzegovina in Newcastle.

England have two warm up matches to prepare them for their group. This game will give some likeness to their matches with Serbia and Slovenia. Since 2022 England’s overall record is 13 win, 7 draws and 5 losses in all competitions. Recent form is 4 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss (they have not won in 3) Bosnia never made the Euro 2024 so just a friendly for them. They finished 2nd bottom of their qualifying group (behind Portugal, Slovakia, Luxembourg, and Iceland) recent form is 2 wins and 6 losses (losing last four scoring 3 but conceding 13!)

Team news: England are without Maguire, Shaw, Saka, Stones, Bellingham, Foden, Mainoo and Walker. Sead Kolasinac and Ermin Bicakcic are injured for Bosnia.

Head-to-head statistics: 4 games – 4 wins England (8-0 on aggregate)

Betting selection – England have beaten Bosnia four from four without conceding. I take this to continue due to Bosnia recent terrible form and England wanting to fine tune before Germany. England win to nil at 4-5 or 1.80 bet365.
