Starting today, world football has entered an international break for more than a week, and European football has started the Euro 2024 qualifiers, and today we have selected a qualifying first round of Group J to share with you, with the Bosnian national team hosting the Icelandic national team.
The home team, the Bosnia-Herzegovina national team, is currently ranked 57th in the world and is at best a second- or third-tier team in Europe. In the UEFA Nations League last year, the team ended up in Group C with 3 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat, and all 3 wins won at home, which shows that this team still relies more on home games. The team has a good ability to play at home, with 5 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats in the last 10 home games, and the home unbeaten rate has reached 70%. However, the team's offensive ability is somewhat inadequate, averaging only 1 goal per game.
Away team Iceland, currently ranked 63rd in the world. Since reaching the last eight of Euro 2016, the team's results have been declining, and they did not qualify in the last European Championship qualifiers. The team's attacking ability is lacking, scoring just 13 goals in their last 15 games, four of which have been unable to score, including as many as eight draws. The team's away ability is even worse, with only 1 win, 5 draws and 4 defeats in the last 10 away games, with a win rate of only 10%, but an unbeaten rate of 60%.
Both teams lack offensive ability and have strong small-ball attributes. Bosnia and Herzegovina is more dependent on home stadiums, while Iceland is less capable of playing away from home. Judging by the world rankings, the gap between the two sides is not large. In the early stage of the market, the home team Bosnia and Herzegovina let the hemisphere low water, this support is still relatively large. In the later period, it rose uniformly to half a medium and high water, and the water level still gradually decreased, and the support for Bosnia and Herzegovina was further strengthened. Considering that the offensive ability of the two sides is relatively poor, and Bosnia and Herzegovina has the home advantage, after comprehensive consideration, I think that a double draw may be a better choice. The score may be 1-0, 1-1.
