Two nations on opposite ends in Group A3 of the Nations League will clash on Saturday, Germany hosting Bosnia-Herzegovina. Germany have their place in the quarters reserved while Bosnia-Herzegovina are fighting for their League A status. Here we have the stats and a prediction for this match in Freiburg.
After hitting 10 points from their opening four matches, it is confirmed, Germany will finish in the top two in this group. One more point may be enough to secure top spot in the pool.
A 1-0 home win over the Netherlands opened a five-point gap for the Germans setting them ready for the knockout stages.
Their visitors are limping to this game, coming right from a 2-0 home loss to Hungary. That result marked a third game in five that they failed to score. It also left them with one point only from a possible 12 in this group.
Still, with six points to contest, they remain mathematically in. However, Bosnia-Herzegovina have not won a game in their last 10 outings. In those 10 matches, they managed only one draw, the other nine being losses and conceding two or more goals in eight of them.
From these results, this seems to be another time Bosnia-Herzegovina will get relegated from League A.
Germany have their slot in the quarter-finals reserved and this will rank as their best ever Nations League campaign. They are a strong side when playing at home and this is not just confined to results but also defensively. The Germans have three clean sheets in four home matches.
Meanwhile, they welcome to Freiburg a Bosnia-Herzegovina side that failed to score in three of the last five matches. The visitors have also not won in the last 10 outings. Our prediction for Germany v Bosnia-Herzegovina is for Germany to win without conceding.
