England vs Bosnia & Herzegovina Betting Tips: AH1 (-1.5)

Before stepping onto the grandest continental stage in Germany this summer, the mighty England squad will engage in two preparatory matches against Bosnia, followed by a clash with Iceland four days later at the iconic Wembley, where they will strive to elevate their self-confidence to the highest heights.

Among other things, Gareth Southgate and his side are desperately seeking to shake off the disappointing results in recent times and head to Germany with their heads held high, having endured a dismal three-game stretch with no wins - drawing 1-1 with North Macedonia in the final round of EURO qualifiers, before going down 0-1 to Brazil and salvaging a late 2-2 draw against Belgium in March friendlies.

Although the Three Lions won't field their full lineup in Monday's action - Jude Bellingham, now with Real Madrid, battles his former club Dortmund for the "Big-Eared Trophy," while Luke Shaw nurses a leg injury, etc. - it's expected to be a one-sided affair in favor of the English, who should dominate in every aspect of the game, especially since most of them will be aiming to impress boss Southgate, who will have to trim down the current 33-man squad by seven.

As mentioned, England's first of two preparatory tests comes in the form of the 74th-ranked team on the FIFA World Rankings, namely Bosnia and Herzegovina, a nation arriving at St. James' Park in a dire streak of form, having only two meager successes to show from their last 10 competitive matches, succumbing eight times along the way.

The picture becomes even murkier when considering that the fireless Dragons scraped those two sole victorious outcomes against minnows Liechtenstein, while they are going through four straight losses right now, conceding a whopping 13 times in the process, a dire streak that cost them a spot at the EURO after suffering a late 1-2 defeat to Ukraine in the playoff semifinal.

Furthermore, Sergej Barbare's troops have been "cannon fodder" when looking at their recent road performances, as they suffered four out of the last six away matches by two or more goals margins, including a humiliating 1-4 defeat to Luxembourg in their most recent visit. Considering this, along with the mountainous gap in quality, we anticipate the Three Lions to sweep aside the Bosnians and deliver a resounding statement to their rivals at the EUROs.
