- Venue: Bilino Polje
Bosnia and Herzegovina continue the search for their first win in the 2025 Nations League campaign on Tuesday evening when they play host to the Netherlands.
The hosts have not tasted victory since October last year when they beat Liechtenstein in a Euro Qualifier. Sergej Barbarez’s side have taken part in nine competitive games since then and lost all but one. The most recent encounter of the Dragons was last weekend in Germany at the Europa-Park Stadion where they conceded seven without replying. Having also conceded five in their previous meeting with the Netherlands in this ground, Tuesday’s could be another difficult game to watch for the Bosnia and Herzegovina faithful.
The Netherlands meanwhile were hoping to end a three-match winless streak in the Nations League when they hosted Hungary on Saturday evening. Thanks to goals from Wout Thanks to goals from Weghorst and Gakpo Ronald Koeman's side were two goals up and half-time before two more from Dumfries and Koopmeiners in the second half made 2-0. The win lifted the Netherlands three points clear of second-placed Hungary and the Oranje have a very superior goal difference.
Bosnia and Herzegovina vs Netherlands Betting Tips: Over 2.5 goals
No side has conceded more goals than Bosnia and Herzegovina in the 2025 Nations League Group C. Sergej Barbarez’s side shipped seven against Germany last time out and conceded at least goals in eight of their last nine matches.
The Dutch Eleven are also capable of scoring many goals on a good day. Ronald Koeman’s side scored at least two goals in three of their last five matches and as many games produced over 3.5 goals.

Virgil van Dijk played 90 minutes for the Netherlands last time out following his return from suspension and the Liverpool man will keep his place at the heart of the defence.
With Memphis Depay not in the squad, former Man United and Burnley forward Wout Weghorst will continue to lead the line and could be supported by Cody Gakpo and Donyell Malen.
