BOSNIA & HERZEGOVINA VS GERMANY, HUNGARY VS NETHERLANDS & TURKEY VS MONTENEGRO: SEE BETTING TIPS TO

A day ago


Bosnia & Herzegovina (FIFA rank: #75) have bounced between the top two tiers of the UEFA Nations League (UNL) since the tournament's inception, and opened this latest campaign in League A with a sobering 5-2 defeat to the Netherlands. 
A 0-0 draw with Hungary which followed was more encouraging, especially as it brought a welcome end to a seven-match losing streak that saw them concede a whopping 22 goals!
 
Even playing at home hasn't helped the Dragons much as they've only tasted victory over lowly Liechtenstein in their last five matches on home soil (L4), a run that started with a 2-0 European Championship qualifier defeat to Luxembourg! 
Bosnia & Herzegovina vs Germany: Match Preview 
It might not offer much solace, but they could take inspiration from being unbeaten in home H2Hs against Germany, having drawn both previous meetings, albeit way back in 1999 and 2002.
A repeat would be seen as a setback for Germany (FIFA rank: #13), who opened this UNL cycle with a 5-0 demolition of Hungary and an entertaining 2-2 draw with the Netherlands. Not quite at full strength following the withdrawals of Kai Havertz, Robin Koch and Jamal Musiala, plus with neither Manuel Neuer nor Marc-André ter Stegen available, one of Oliver Baumann, Janis Blaswich or Alexander Nübel will debut in goal.
 
The UNL remains a tournament in which the four-time World Cup winners have never really excelled, as they're yet to reach the semi-finals, and one reason for that is only winning one UNL away fixture (D5, L3). Interestingly, the last four of those were all score draws, a sequence Julian Nagelsmann's side are heavy favourites to break given the huge ranking gap between them and their opponents.
Match Stat 
None of Germany's last eight matches produced a goalless second half (W5, D2, L1).
Our Tip 
Germany to either win or draw 
Hungary vs Netherlands: Match Preview 
After finishing second in Group A3 in the 2022/23 UEFA Nations League (UNL) following a final-round defeat to Italy, Hungary have begun this new campaign in the same group in awful fashion. Marco Rossi's men were thumped 5-0 away from home by Germany in their 2024/25 opener, only to once again prove goal shy in their 0-0 draw against group minnows Bosnia & Herzegovina at the Puskás Aréna in Budapest.
That stalemate was the first time in 11 home games that the Magyars have failed to score, although it did preserve their unbeaten status during that period (W9, D2). They'll need to be fully present if they're hoping to make it a dozen matches without defeat on home soil when they face the Netherlands, a nation against whom they've lost the last nine H2Hs! 
The Dutch will be confident they can make it ten in a row after their solid start to this UNL campaign in which they've beaten the Bosnians 5-2 before securing an entertaining 2-2 draw with Germany. The Netherlands will be desperate to get back in the win column here, but fulfilling their aspirations of topping their UNL group for the third time in the competition's four-season history could prove quite challenging if they don't win this fixture.
Ronald Koeman's men are favoured by the bookies to get the three points in Hungary, and it's no surprise seeing as only once in the last year have they gone two successive games without earning a victory. The Oranje are unlikely to be greatly fearful about that record being affected here, since they've lost just twice in their last 12 matches as the away side (W8, D2).
Match Stat 
There have been more than 2.5 goals in 12 of the Netherlands' last 13 matches.
Our Tip
Netherlands to either win or draw 
Turkey vs Montenegro: Match Preview 
After starting off their 2024/25 UEFA Nations League (UNL) campaign with a frustrating 0-0 draw against Wales in Cardiff, Turkey earned three points in İzmir by beating Iceland 3-1 to move top of Group C4 ahead of matchday three. The Crescent Stars next face Montenegro, who they have never lost to in four previous H2Hs (W2, D2), a run which includes four points gained against them in two FIFA World Cup qualifiers. 
Prior to playing Iceland, Turkey hadn't faced anyone on home soil since last October but their record as hosts recently has been extremely strong, with seven wins in their last ten such internationals (D2, L1). Despite those positives, one of the main areas that head coach Vincenzo Montella may want to address is his team's inability to keep clean sheets, having secured only two shutouts in the last 13 games during his stewardship after back-to-back shutouts to start his tenure. 
 
Montenegro need wider improvements and are looking to get their first points on the board during this UNL campaign after successive losses to Iceland (2-0) and Wales (2-1). Those results are part of a run of four straight defeats - their joint-worst sequence since gaining their footballing independence in 2007. 
The Brave Falcons can make the trip to Turkey with a modicum of confidence however, given that they beat both North Macedonia (1-0) and Belarus (2-0) there in friendlies in March. Montenegro's form has been up and down in recent international breaks, but despite that inconsistency, they haven't drawn any of their last 11 matches (W5, L6), with the ultimate victor having gone 1-0 up in ten of those games. 
Match Stat
Montenegro haven't scored in the first 25 minutes of their last seven internationals.
