Bosnia & Herzegovina enter this pre-World Cup friendly riding an incredible wave of momentum. They recently secured their ticket to the 2026 tournament by putting five goals past both Italy and Wales in the playoffs.

North Macedonia arrive in contrasting shape, having missed out on qualification while suffering heavy defensive collapses. Their recent trips to face top-tier opposition resulted in a 4-0 defeat to Denmark and a 7-1 thrashing by Wales.

Attacking output has been the defining feature of Bosnia's recent fixtures, with the team scoring three or more goals in four of their last five matches. The hosts have shown they can break down both elite and mid-tier defenses with ease.

The visitors have struggled to find any rhythm in the final third, failing to score in three of their last four matches. North Macedonia's inability to create consistent chances makes it difficult to see them matching Bosnia's current firepower.

With the World Cup looming, the home side will be eager to put on a dominant display for their supporters before traveling to North America. While friendly matches often invite late rotation, the sheer gulf in form and morale strongly favors a comfortable home performance.
