The first semis of the EURO 2024 playoffs in Zenica features Bosnia and Herzegovina and Ukraine.

Bosnia and Herzegovina vs. Ukraine Preview

Bosnia and Herzegovina

The Dragons have lost three in a row and seven in the last ten encounters, all in EURO 2024 qualifiers. Three victories during that span tell a lot about this unit, which defeated Liechtenstein twice and Iceland once. In all other events, Savo Milosevic’s unit looked terrible, to say the least.

Portugal rolled over them in Zenica, 0-5, then Luxembourg smashed them on the road, 4-1, before losing to Slovakia at home, 1-2. So, 11 goals allowed in these three events, present Bosnia and Herzegovina’s form in the best possible way.

However, this unit played superbly in the UEFA Nations League, which is why they reached the playoffs. All three wins at home in the group stage vs. Romania, Finland, and Montenegro show the other side of the Dragons’ game.

Ukraine

The Ukrainian unit was third in the EURO qualifiers group behind England and Italy, having the same number of points as the Italian team. The reason for this was a goalless draw against Italy in the final meeting of the group stage.

Ukrainians are playing solid, modern football with plenty of running and high pace. They like to hurt their rivals through transition and counter-attacks, not wanting the ball in their feet too much. 

Also, you need to be aware that Ukraine got used to playing away from home. The war forced the national team and other clubs to play either in Germany or Poland, so they wouldn’t be affected by this circumstance as much as some would think.
