Comments and odds on Iceland vs Bosnia: Fragile hope

Iceland ended the first round of Euro 2024 qualifying with a poor performance. Accordingly, they only had 1 win against the Liechtenstein team and the remaining 4 defeats after 5 matches played in Group J. Currently, they are only in 5th place out of 6 participating teams. .

In theory, coach Hareide and his team still have a chance to get into the top 2 (the group that wins tickets to the final round in Germany next summer) when the gap between them is 7 points and Group J still has 5 more matches to go. close it.

However, with the spirit of fighting hard, having just lost to the weaker team Luxembourg with a score of 1-3 in the match a few days ago, Iceland has shown signs of giving up its chances in the race for the top 2 position. Tonight, they have a match to welcome Bosnia and it is likely that their hopes of participating in the Euro finals will officially end with a defeat.

Unlike their opponents, Bosnia just had a 2-1 victory over Liechtenstein and opened up hope of competing for second place in the group. Accordingly, Dzeko and his teammates got 6 points and were 4 points behind the 2nd ranked team. Obviously, a victory over Iceland will help Bosnia breathe much easier in the race to continue.
