Bosnia & Herzegovina – Unbeaten in the group
Here, we will take a closer look at Bosnia & Herzegovina’s current situation. We’ll analyse their recent form and latest displays for this upcoming match. This section will also examine their tactical approach. Additionally, we will present the expected Bosnia & Herzegovina vs. Sweden line-ups.
Recent form
Bosnia & Herzegovina have made an impressive start to their UEFA Nations League campaign, remaining unbeaten after their first two matches. They have secured four points from a possible six, with both games played away from home. This run began with a hard-fought 0-0 draw against Poland, followed by a convincing 4-2 victory over Romania.
This strong away form demonstrates a team that is both resilient in defence and potent in attack. The clean sheet against Poland showcased their organisational strength, while scoring four goals against Romania highlighted their offensive capabilities. A significant advantage for the home side is the absence of any injured or suspended players, allowing them to field a full-strength team.
A key player to watch is midfielder Esmir Bajraktarević, who has already provided two assists in the competition. Upfront, Haris Tabaković has been a threat, scoring one goal in the competition. Playing their first home game of the tournament with high morale and a complete squad gives them a solid platform to build upon.

Sweden – Off to a flying start
Let’s take a closer look at Sweden’s current situation. We will examine the team’s momentum, their expectations, and standout players for the trip to Zenica.
Recent form
Sweden arrives in Zenica with maximum points from their opening two UEFA Nations League matches. They secured a 2-1 win against Romania and then dispatched Poland 3-1. Both victories came at home, making this their first away challenge in the group.
The visitors have displayed a potent attack, scoring five goals in total. Striker Viktor Gyökeres has been in excellent form, netting twice, and midfielder Yasin Ayari has also contributed with a goal and an assist.

This positive start follows a period of inconsistent results, including a disappointing exit from the 2026 World Cup. However, their current winning momentum and attacking confidence make them a formidable opponent.
