On Sunday night, Slovakia and Bosnia-Herzegovina clash in Group J of qualifying for Euro 2024 as both teams look for vital points.
The home team kicked off their qualifying campaign with a highly underwhelming goalless home draw against minnows Luxembourg. The result means that Slovakia is now winless in six internationals, having drawn their last four matches.

Their recent international games have been low-scoring affairs, with under 2.5 goals in eight of their last 11 outings.
There is one slight positive from the game last time out in that Slovakia are now unbeaten in their last four European Championship qualifiers. However, the home team has won just one of their previous six qualifiers in 90 minutes.
Slovakia has also struggled for results on home soil in qualifying, winning just two of their previous eight qualifiers at home. Their recent home qualifiers have been tight and low-scoring, with seven of their last eight games in qualifying producing under 2.5 goals.
The visitors started their Group J campaign with a comfortable 3-0 home win over Iceland. The victory means that Bosnia-Herzegovina has now recorded wins in three of their last four games. They have also suffered just one defeat in their previous eight matches.
Bosnia-Herzegovina is now also unbeaten in three European Championship qualifiers in 90 minutes. However, on the flip side, they have won just four of their previous 11 qualifiers.
Their European Championship qualifiers have certainly offered good value for money when it has come to goals of late, as there have been over 2.5 goals scored in seven of their last eight matches.
The visitors have a poor recent away record in qualifying, as a 3-0 win in Liechtenstein in their last away qualifier ended a five-game losing streak for Bosnia-Herzegovina on their travels.
Forebet predicts that this game will be a low-scoring goalless draw.
