Bosnia and Herzegovina have been on a losing streak, dropping their last five matches, each featuring over 2.5 goals. In these defeats, they’ve conceded a total of 16 goals, and their defensive woes extended throughout the last year, letting in 20 goals during the qualifiers.
Italy, on the other hand, secured wins in both their friendlies in March and are poised for a strong showing. They’re looking to gain momentum following a goalless draw against Turkey earlier this week. Luciano Spalletti, having taken the reins less than a year ago, faces the challenge of rebuilding and infusing his successful Napoli managerial style into the national team, despite recent struggles in front of goal.
With Bosnia reeling from a 3-0 defeat to a second-string England team and their porous defence throughout qualifying, Italy is well-positioned to dominate this matchup. Fresh off a productive tour in the US, Italy is expected to comfortably dismantle the Bosnian side, using this game as a stepping stone to build confidence and test strategies before facing sterner tests at Euro 2024.
Betting tip – over 2.5 goals at 10/11
