Bosnia and Herzegovina will welcome the Netherlands to Bilino Polje on Tuesday in their final group-stage game of the UEFA Nations League. The hosts have been relegated to League B, while Oranje have booked their place in the quarterfinals. Thus, this match is a formality for both teams.
Zmajevi have endured a winless run in the competition thus far, suffering four losses in five games. They failed to score for the third time in the competition on Saturday as they fell to a devastating 7-0 away loss to Germany.
Netherlands returned to winning ways after three games on Saturday with a comfortable 4-0 home win over Hungary. Wout Weghorst and Cody Gakpo scored from the penalty spot in the first half while Denzel Dumfries and Teun Koopmeiners added goals in the second half.

Bosnia and Herzegovina vs Netherlands Prediction
Bosnia and Herzegovina are winless in all competitions and friendlies since last October, suffering 10 losses in 11 games during that period. They have failed to score in their only home game against the visitors and will look to improve upon that record.
Nikola Katić is back after serving a suspension against Germany and should return to the starting XI. Edin Džeko was an unused substitute in that match and might get the nod to start.
The Oranje bounced back with a win after three games and will look to continue that form here. Interestingly, they are winless in their two away games in the ongoing Nations League campaign, conceding one goal apiece.
Frenkie de Jong played 68 minutes against Hungary and might be rested in this match. Ronald Koeman is likely to make a few changes to the starting XI, as his side have already secured a berth in the quarterfinals.
The visitors have an unbeaten record in this fixture and, considering their better goalscoring form, they are expected to record a comfortable win.
