Portugal v Bosnia and Herzegovina, Group J of the Euro 2024 qualifiers in Germany, is scheduled for Saturday 17 June at 21:45 at the Estadio da Luz in Lisbon and will be broadcast live on Digi Sport 1 and Prima Sport 1.

Portugal are heavy favorites to win the group, while Bosnia and Herzegovina will battle Slovakia and Iceland for second place in the final European Championship tournament.

Portugal are top with six points after their first two games, 4-0 at home to Liechtenstein and 6-0 away to Luxembourg, the other teams that complete Group J (Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice in each game).

The team coached by Roberto Martínez seems to have overcome the disappointment of being eliminated from the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, 0-1 against Morocco in the quarter-finals, and is aiming to win Euro 2024 (the Lusitanians have the trophy, in 2016, won in Paris , after the final with France, the score 1-0 after extra time).

Portugal haven’t lost at home in a European qualifier since 2014, starting with a surprising 0-1 draw against Albania, with their last home defeat coming in their 2022 World Cup qualifier in Qatar, a 1-2 draw with Serbia.

Bosnia and Herzegovina is in 3rd place with three points from two matches, 3-0 at home against Iceland and 0-2 away to Slovakia, the main contenders for 2nd place, who have one more point.

The team coached by Faruk Hadjibegic did not qualify for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, but managed to advance to League B of the Nations League last year, winning a group that also included Montenegro, Finland and Romania.

Bosnia and Herzegovina, who have never competed in a European Championship finals tournament, secured a Euro 2024 qualification play-off via the Nations League, a phase in which they reached three times, losing each time.

The last time these two teams met was in the qualifying round for Euro 2012, when Portugal beat Bosnia and Herzegovina 6-2 in Lisbon after a 0-0 draw in Zenica.
