In what promises to be a pivotal clash for Luxembourg’s Euro 2024 qualifying aspirations, the overachieving side faces Bosnia-Herzegovina on Thursday. As Bosnia finds themselves already eliminated after a disappointing campaign, Luxembourg clings to the hope of automatic qualification, contingent on a favourable result from Iceland against Slovakia in another Group J encounter.

Luxembourg, once riding high after a remarkable 3-1 victory over Iceland, has faced a downturn in form. A devastating 9-0 defeat against Portugal and subsequent draws and losses have jeopardized their chances. Despite a guaranteed playoff spot in Path C, courtesy of their Nations League performance, Luxembourg’s head coach Luc Holtz faces the challenge of revitalizing his team’s confidence.
This campaign marks Luxembourg’s 37th qualifying attempt for major tournaments, dating back to their first entry in the 1934 World Cup. The proximity to securing a spot in Euro 2024 adds unprecedented pressure as they strive to break their longstanding record of never featuring in a major tournament.

On the opposing side, Bosnia’s once-promising football landscape has soured. Despite past successes, including reaching the 2014 World Cup, Bosnia has failed in all six previous attempts to qualify for the Euros. The recent dismal form, with five consecutive losses excluding games against Liechtenstein, has created an air of uncertainty around their Euro 2024 hopes.
With automatic qualification now out of reach, Bosnia’s focus shifts to the playoffs, secured through their Nations League performance. However, internal challenges, fan disillusionment, and a string of poor performances, including a humiliating defeat to Luxembourg, cast shadows over their prospects.
Luxembourg captain Laurent Jans is set to make his 100th appearance, a milestone that adds significance to the match. In contrast, Bosnia grapples with the absence of key players, including captain Edin Dzeko, Sead Kolasinac, and Miralem Pjanic.
The possible lineups reflect the challenges both teams face, with Luxembourg dealing with injuries to Yvandro Borges Sanches and Eldin Dzogovic. On the other side, Bosnia’s Savo Milosevic navigates the absence of major players like Dzeko, Kolasinac, and the injured Anel Ahmedhodzic and Adrian Leon Barisic.
Despite Luxembourg’s recent struggles, they face a Bosnia side in disarray. The historical advantage held by Bosnia, with seven previous wins against Luxembourg, adds a layer of determination for the visitors. The 0-1 prediction in favour of Bosnia underscores the uphill battle Luxembourg faces in this crucial encounter.
Prediction: Luxembourg 0-1 Bosnia
