Sweden vs Bosnia and Herzegovina prediction 14.11.2026 | UEFA Nations League

Sweden had a pretty strange period behind them. They were atrocious in the World Cup Qualifiers, but managed to secure the WC appearance by winning the UEFA Nations League and eventually the Playoffs. Then in the WC, they once again had mixed results despite reaching the 1/16 Finals. Throughout that period, it was obvious they had the potential up front but lacked quality at the back.

In the UEFA Nations League, Sweden did great, especially on the back, collecting 10 points in four rounds and allowing only three goals. Now, with a possible win over Bosnia and Herzegovina, they would claim the top spot regardless of the result in the last game of the competition. 

For the upcoming game, three crucial offensive players should return after injuries: Alexander Isak, Dejan Kulusevski, and Anthony Elanga. On the other hand, there are several important absences, especially at the back. Among the most important ones are Isak Hien, Carl Starfelt, Emil Holm, Lucas Bergall, etc.

Bosnia and Herzegovina had a great WC qualification campaign, when they eventually secured a WC appearance by beating Wales and Italy in the Playoffs. In the World Cup, they proved they belong there by reaching 1/16 Finals, where one of the co-hosts, the USA, eventually eliminated them 2:0. 

In the UEFA Nations League, Bosnia and Herzegovina are doing fine and are in a great position to at least secure the second spot, as they are four points away from 3rd-placed Poland. However, a win here would put them in first place, and they could return to League A directly. 

Bosnia and Herzegovina will miss their best central defender, Tarik Muharemovic, who will serve a one-game suspension. Besides him, another key absence is Nikola Vasilj. The 30-year-old has been impressive for Bosnia, and his absence will definitely be a massive factor.
