The Three Lions are without a win in their last three games.

England, major contenders for Euro 2024, will face Bosnia and Herzegovina in a friendly at St. James’ Park before facing Iceland in the second friendly in June. In their last two international friendlies, Gareth Southgate’s team lost to Brazil on their home turf and later drew against Belgium. The team are looking to bounce back to winning ways after failing to win any of their last three matches.

Bosnia and Herzegovina did not qualify for Euro 2024 having finished in the bottom two in Group J. They are on a losing streak of four matches. It appears that the national team are going through a transition, as they are calling up a number of uncapped players in an effort to develop them as future stars. Edin Dzeko and Sead Kolašinac are the only senior players on the team.
