Our two Premium Tips for Bosnia and Herzegovina vs Sweden back Viktor Gyokeres to keep his scoring run going and the points to be shared in Zenica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Premium Tip<\/th>Odds<\/th>Why we’re backing it<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
Viktor Gyokeres to score anytime<\/strong><\/td>6\/4 (Paddy Power<\/a>)<\/td>Viktor Gyokeres has scored seven goals in Sweden’s last eight competitive matches, including a hat-trick against Ukraine in the World Cup play-off semi-final and the 88th-minute winner against Poland in the final. He has also netted in both of Sweden’s Nations League games this month, against Romania and Poland in Solna. Alexander Isak has since left the squad injured, so there is less competition for the goals in Zenica, and Gyokeres converted a penalty against Ukraine. Bosnia and Herzegovina have conceded in nine of their last ten competitive matches, with the 0-0 draw in Poland the only exception. Sweden have scored in nine of their last ten competitive games.<\/td><\/tr>
Draw<\/strong><\/td>13\/5 (Betfred<\/a>)<\/td>Five of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s last ten competitive matches have finished level. That run includes 1-1 draws with Austria in Vienna, Wales in Cardiff, Italy in Zenica and Canada in Toronto, plus last week’s 0-0 in Warsaw. Sergej Barbarez’s side have lost only one of their last five competitive home games, a 2-1 defeat to Austria in September 2025. Sweden have drawn three of their last 14 competitive matches and travel without Alexander Isak and Emil Holm, who both withdrew injured. Bosnia need a result to keep pace at the top, and a share of the points on Edin Dzeko’s farewell night is available at 13\/5 with Betfred.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

How Bosnia and Herzegovina go into the game<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bosnia and Herzegovina are second in Group 4 on four points, two behind Sweden, after a 0-0 draw in Poland and a 4-2 win in Romania. Armin Gigovic, Tarik Muharemovic, Haris Tabakovic and Ermin Mahmic scored in Bucharest. Sergej Barbarez’s side reached the World Cup round of 32 in the summer before losing 2-0 to the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Five of their last ten competitive games have ended level, and they have lost just one of their last five competitive home matches. Friday is set to be Edin Dzeko’s final international appearance, with the 40-year-old on 73 goals in 151 caps. Mahmic has scored in three of Bosnia’s last five competitive games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

How Sweden go into the game<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Graham Potter’s Sweden have won both of their Nations League games so far, beating Romania 2-1 and Poland 3-1 in Solna, and Viktor Gyokeres scored in each. Their World Cup campaign ended with a 3-0 defeat to France in the round of 32 after a 5-1 opening win over Tunisia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alexander Isak and Emil Holm have both withdrawn from the squad through injury. Sweden have conceded in each of their last 14 competitive matches and have not kept a clean sheet since a 2-0 friendly win over Hungary in June 2025. They are unbeaten in their last eight Nations League matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Only one previous senior meeting exists between the nations, and Sweden won it 4-2 in a friendly at the Rasunda Stadium on 29 May 2010. Friday’s game is therefore the first competitive fixture between the two sides, and the first time Sweden have visited Bosnia and Herzegovina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bosnia and Herzegovina vs Sweden score prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Gyokeres is in the form to strike again, but Bosnia’s knack of grinding out draws and Sweden’s run of 14 straight competitive games without a clean sheet point towards goals at both ends and little to separate the sides. Score prediction: Bosnia and Herzegovina 1-1 Sweden.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n
