Liechtenstein vs. Bosnia & Herzegovina – Prediction (EURO Qualification – 18.11.2019)

Preview and Teams Comparison.

Liechtenstein have conceded 3.11 goals per-match in yet another futile European Championship qualification (ECQ) campaign. However, a win will see them match the five-point tally from ten qualifiers they achieved in the last ECQ campaign. Liechtenstein attacker Yanik Frick’s October equaliser vs Armenia provided the minnows with their first ECQ home point (and home goal) of the campaign. The hosts are currently winless in 15 ECQ matches (D3, L12). Every one of the defeats in that sequence saw Liechtenstein fail to score (L12 – GF 0, GA 45), and thus concede an average of 3.75 goals per-loss. All of those losses additionally saw them lose both halves.

Liechtenstein’s last four ECQ losses have yielded only a 1-0 deficit at half-time. Ten of the 13 goals conceded by Liechtenstein across their last three ECQ defeats have come beyond the hour mark. Three of Bosnia’s last five fixtures have seen the home side on the day benefit from an own-goal.

Bosnia and Herzegovina ran out 5-0 winners in the reverse H2H, though it was not until the 80th minute that the second goal went in. That result has helped make an impact in handicap stakes, with bookmakers’ favourites Bosnia considered around twice as likely to beat a handicap of -4 as Liechtenstein are to even get a draw. With at least a goal in each of his four appearances (and seven in total), Liechtenstein have proved to be Edin Džeko’s favourite international opponent. Knowing that they are going nowhere but the Euro 2020 qualification playoffs, the visitors can relax. Nonetheless, the expectation of a goal-glut for the visitors is reflected yet further, by the fact that three of Bosnia’s last four ECQ away wins against lower-seeded opponents have seen them score exactly three times.
