Panama vs Bosnia and Herzegovina Match Preview

Match News and Current Form

Panama have experienced dramatic results in their recent warm-up fixtures. After suffering a heavy 6-2 defeat to Brazil, Los Canaleros responded impressively with a thrilling 4-2 victory over the Dominican Republic.

Thomas Christiansen’s side are preparing for only their second-ever World Cup appearance and will hope to improve significantly on their disappointing 2018 campaign, where they lost all three group-stage matches.

Defensively, Panama remain vulnerable. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in each of their six matches since qualifying for the World Cup, although their overall form remains respectable with only two defeats in their last 12 matches.

Bosnia and Herzegovina, meanwhile, are building momentum nicely under Sergej Barbarez. The Dragons are unbeaten in seven matches (W4, D3), including dramatic penalty shootout victories over Wales and Italy during qualification.

However, Bosnia were frustrated in a 0-0 draw against North Macedonia in their latest outing — the first time in 14 games they failed to score. They will now look to rediscover their attacking rhythm before entering a promising World Cup group featuring Canada, Switzerland, and Qatar.
