These predictions below for Bosnia & Herzegovina vs Portugal EURO 2024 Qualifiers match were made by Bookmaker Ratings. For more predictions on EURO 2024 Qualifiers, Premier League, Bundesliga, Serie A, La Liga and other European football leagues, visit our Football Predictions & Betting Tips page.
Portugal have won four of the previous five h2h (D1), including a 3-0 triumph in June. The fact that Roberto Martinez’s men sealed their spot in Germany by defeating Slovakia 3-2 on Friday is a minor lift for the home side, but it remains to be seen what Portugal’s remaining incentive is.
We expect that Portugal will be eager to keep their 7-match winning streak, although it is possible that manager Roberto Martinez would give a chance to new players.
Bosnia have lost teams like Luxembourg and Iceland in this qualification. Despite slight chances, right now this team can’t beat Portugal.
Prediction: Portugal to win
Portugal have won the last 4 of 5 games against Bosnia. In those games, they managed to cover -1 goals handicap.
Betting Tip: Portugal goals handicap (-1)
