- 波斯尼亚在最近六场比赛中失利
- 波斯尼亚队在过去的12场比赛中有7场没有进球
- 荷兰队在过去的十场国家联赛中赢得了七场比赛
橙衣军团可以点燃国家联赛的揭幕战
荷兰队自2024年欧洲杯半决赛对阵英格兰队以来的第一场比赛是在菲利普斯体育场与波斯尼亚队进行的国家联赛对决，这是对他们应该以优异成绩通过的考验。
罗纳德·科曼的球队在今年夏天的欧洲锦标赛上表现出了很多有希望的迹象，尤其是在小组赛阶段将法国队逼平，并在淘汰赛中战胜罗马尼亚和土耳其。
科曼已经组建了一支强大的球队，其中包括利物浦三人组维吉尔·范·迪克、瑞安·格拉文贝赫和科迪·加克波，莱比锡的哈维·西蒙斯和曼联的约书亚·齐克泽，他们应该很少担心能否完成这项工作。
害羞的游客面临艰难的战斗
波斯尼亚未能获得2024年欧洲杯的参赛资格，在6月份与英格兰和意大利的友谊赛中以0比0失利，这意味着他们已经连续失去了六名国际球员。
客队在过去的十场国际比赛中有七场没有进球，他们仍然过度依赖老将埃丁·哲科的进攻影响力。
因此，由范戴克、阿森纳王牌尤里安·蒂伯、曼城的内森·阿克和托特纳姆热刺的米基·范德文组成的荷兰队防守应该能够在劣势对手面前站稳脚跟。
东道主在过去的十场国家联赛中赢得了七场比赛，并且可以以2:0的比分赢得这场比赛。
- Bosnia have lost their last six matches
- Bosnia have failed to score in seven of their last 12 games
- The Netherlands have won seven of their last ten Nations League matches
Oranje can light up Nations League opener
The Netherlands’ first match since exiting in the semi-final of Euro 2024 against England is a Nations League showdown with Bosnia from the Philips Stadion and it is a test that they should pass with flying colours.
Ronald Koeman’s side showed plenty of promising signs at this summer’s European Championships, highlighted by holding France in the group stages to a goalless draw and recording knockout wins over Romania and Turkey.
Koeman has assembled a strong squad, featuring Liverpool trio Virgil van Dijk, Ryan Gravenberch and Cody Gakpo, Leipzig’s Xavi Simons and Joshua Zirkzee of Manchester United, and they should have few concerns about getting the job done.
Shot-shy visitors face uphill battle
Bosnia failed to qualify for Euro 2024 and defeats to nil in June friendlies with England and Italy mean they have lost six internationals in a row.
The visitors have failed to score in seven of their last ten internationals and they are still overly reliant on veteran Edin Dzeko for his attacking influence.
So a Dutch defence featuring Van Dijk, Arsenal ace Jurrien Timber, Manchester City’s Nathan Ake and Tottenham’s Micky van de Ven should be able to stand firm against inferior opposition.
The hosts have won seven of their last ten Nations League matches and can win this one to nil, with 2-0 the favoured scoreline.
