All of the team news and the predicted lineups for the game between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Germany in the UEFA Nations League.

Match Overview

Germany

Germany are unbeaten since their loss to Spain in the quarter-finals of this year's Euro 2024 competition with one win and a draw.

However, they had to come from behind to settle for a 2-2 draw against Netherlands last time out in September in the Nations League but remain top of their group due to their superior goal difference.

Last time Germany faced Bosnia and Herzegovina, they managed to win 3-1 despite an early goal from Bosnia's current captain Edin Džeko.

There are no current Germany players who played in their last fixture against Bosnia and Herzegovina, with all three remaining players (Thomas Müller, Manuel Neuer and Toni Kroos) having retired from international football this year.

Serge Gnabry looks set to make his return to the Germany eleven for the first time since November, where he played sixty minutes as Germany lost 2:0 to Austria.

Bosnia and Herzegovina

Bosnia are without a win in their last eight competitive fixtures, dating back to a 2-0 win in their Euro 2024 qualifying group against Liechtenstein in October last year.

At thirty-eight-years-old, Bosnia's record goalscorer and captain Edin Džeko is still scoring at a consistent rate as he is second top goalscorer in the Super Lig for Fenerbahçe with five goals in seven games.

A powerful striking force, Augsburg's Ermedin Demirović and Edin Džeko had 36 goals between them at club level last season for their respective teams.
