If you ask me What should you consider before the match of England vs Bosnia, then I will say, you should try England National Football Team Vs Bosnia And Herzegovina National Football Team Lineups.
On Monday evening at St James’ Park, England will begin their Euro 2024 preparations against Bosnia and Herzegovina in an international friendly match-up. Gareth Southgate will use this matchup as an opportunity to evaluate players before selecting his squad and determining who makes it to France next June.
Cole Palmer gave England an early lead with his penalty kick and extended their lead after halftime.
England Lineup
Gareth Southgate has selected an experimental team for England’s friendly with Bosnia before travelling to Germany, including Cole Palmer and Eberechi Eze. Also present will be Tottenham striker Dominic Solanke who scored against Chelsea during FA Cup Final.
Kieran Trippier leads his club’s squad at their stadium, joined by fellow Tottenham defender Moussa Sissoko and Everton midfielder Jordan Henderson from Everton and Everton respectively. Phil Foden and Kyle Walker from Manchester City as well as West Brom winger Jacob Murphy complete the team while Bournemouth’s Lewis Dunk and Conor Gallagher from Chelsea battle it out for a right-back position, with Kieran Gibbs from Arsenal on the bench as Kieran Gibbs takes part in training and match-day matches this summer!
England play at a high-tempo and nearly scored early as Solanke turned on the edge of their area to find a yard of space before squared the ball for Watkins who couldn’t score as his attempt went wide.
England are forced to wait until halftime before getting any glimpse of their opponents, but once play resumes they take control.
On the restart, the visitors kept possession and Guehi found an opportunity to cross for Hajradinovic; his header was blocked by Dunk. Unfortunately for Bosnia, their corner kicks proved wasteful while their only other real chance saw Bicakcic go down after colliding with Jarrod Bowen.
Meanwhile, the Three Lions have an opportunity to make history at Euro 2024! Their chances have improved greatly this week at Rockliffe Hall in County Durham with cricket star Ben Stokes leading an excellent session on adapting a fearless mindset in stressful circumstances – as well as on their trip to Germany for their crucial warm-up match against Serbia on June 16.

Bosnia and Herzegovina Lineup
Gareth Southgate has maintained the squad he used to defeat Iceland in his opening match as England manager, with only Jordan Pickford, Ezri Konsa, Lewis Dunk and Cole Palmer being left out since March. Trent Alexander-Arnold, Eberechi Eze and Jarrod Bowen making their competitive debuts are among those added.
Bosnia have lost four consecutive qualifiers since opening up Euro 2024 qualifying against Italy at home with a narrow 1-0 defeat, leaving just two matches until finals in Germany – this match at St James’ Park must go smoothly to secure their participation at this major tournament.
Even with their recent struggles, the hosts will likely field an offensive side in this friendly matchup at St James’ Park and are unlikely to settle for a goalless draw. On the other hand, neither side have ever visited this venue in competitive action before.
After an initially lackluster start, England quickly increased the tempo after the halftime break and beat Bosnia decisively. Harry Kane, Marcus Rashford and Danny Ings played an impressive attacking trio that created several chances throughout the match.
England had the chance to extend their lead through Ings after Raheem Sterling made an exquisite pass from the left flank and gave him an ideal pass, however his shot went wide of target and his teammates failed to capitalize on such an advantageous opportunity.
Kane looked in good form despite his club’s poor form. He had a few half-chances to score and also over-hit a free-kick late on, further strengthening his claims of making Gareth Southgate’s plane to Germany. Sterling and Rashford also showed glimpses of form which should delight Southgate; their only setback being Branthwaite’s late challenge on Gigovic which could have resulted in his sending off; fortunately the hosts managed to put out of harm’s way by clearing away before this could happen.
Predictions
England will look to continue their Euro 2024 preparations by defeating Bosnia-Herzegovina at St James’ Park in Newcastle with ease. Gareth Southgate should provide some fringe players an opportunity in this friendly match-up, and England should comfortably defeat an opponent that is on an eight-match losing streak.
Cole Palmer will lead England and is an excellent bet to score against a team ranked as 74th globally. He already scored two goals in 10 competitive matches for England since joining them, so will aim to add to that total with this friendly match.
Trent Alexander-Arnold should provide another goal threat for England. The Manchester City defender has been in impressive form for both club and country, so will likely look to add to his scoresheet for England.
This match should produce high scoring. England have averaged 3.25 goals per game in their five friendlies so far this year and will hope to add another strike against Bosnia. Bosnia have only scored three goals over their past four matches (two were own goals), so expect England and Bosnia to keep a clean sheet on Wednesday evening.
Harry Kane will likely secure England a victory with a late goal from Spurs winger Harry Kane. Kane stands an excellent chance of scoring against the 76th-ranked nation at -135 odds. England are missing Jude Bellingham and Luke Shaw due to injuries, so Southgate may call upon Kieran Trippier, Marc Guehi or Eberechi Eze instead in case either or both players cannot make selection – giving England’s defense more strength overall.
Head-to-Head Record
England secured an easy 3-0 victory against Bosnia and Herzegovina for their inaugural meeting at St James’ Park, as Cole Palmer scored his maiden international goal and Trent Alexander-Arnold scored an amazing effort that ensured them a victory at St James’ Park. England were dominant from start to finish as they controlled possession and forced Bosnia into retreating positions; Ollie Watkins saw his shot saved by Nikola Vasilj after 10 minutes from Palmer slipping him through but when England increased the pressure after halftime they were soon awarded with a penalty when Ezri Konsa was pulled down by Ermin Bicakcic; Palmer calmly converted from the spot ensuring England took an unbreakable advantage that lasted well into their victory at St James’ Park.
The Bosnia and Herzegovina National Football Team is the national association for association football in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Competing at international tournaments organized by UEFA such as UEFA Euro and Nations League tournaments. Based in Sarajevo with an average home attendance of just over 10,000; Emir Spahic holds over 200 caps as captain of this national team.
Bosnia and Herzegovina has seen steady improvement on the world stage over recent years, yet remains one of the smaller national teams competing in UEFA competition. Reaching play-offs at major tournaments including FIFA World Cup but never going any further; finishing fourth in their Euro 2020 qualifying group under Manager Robert Prosinecki to secure playoff qualification but miss direct qualification altogether.
England have won their last three matches against Bosnia and Herzegovina as well as four meetings between friendly games. Their undefeated record against them stands at nine, without ever losing at St James’ Park; thus bringing the overall head-to-head record between both nations even at 3-3.
