In the first round of the European Championship qualifiers, the blue and yellow team convincingly defeated Iceland 3-0 in Zenica, thanks to a brace from Krunić. However, they suffered a 0-2 defeat to Slovakia in Bratislava. The Red Lions managed to hold a goalless draw against Slovakia in Trnava but were crushed 0-6 by Portugal at home. On June 9, the Great Duchy team played a friendly match against Malta, but the final result, a 0-1 loss, likely didn't boost the morale of the players ahead of the qualification matches. Bosnia and Herzegovina and Luxembourg have previously played together in the qualifying stages for the 2004 and 2012 European Championships. Luxembourg won both home matches with scores of 2-0 and 5-0. Last spring, the teams faced each other in a friendly match, where Bosnia and Herzegovina secured a victory with a single goal in the eighty-sixth minute.

Under Hadžibegić's guidance, the team have only suffered two defeats in their last nine matches. The Balkan national team have won four consecutive home matches, and the defeat to Slovakia halted their eight-game scoring streak. The blue and yellow team have kept clean sheets in three out of their last four home games. The match between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Luxembourg can be watched online.

Luxembourg have failed to score in their last four matches. In their previous nine fixtures, the Red Lions only managed to defeat Lithuania in the UEFA Nations League with a score of 1-0. The Great Duchy team remains unbeaten in their last four away matches, with three of them being clean sheet victories. A notable result during this period is a 3-3 draw against Turkey in Istanbul in the UEFA Nations League when the team took the lead each time but conceded the equalizer in the eighty-seventh minute.

The national team are expecting new record holders. For example, da Mota could become the player with the most appearances for Luxembourg, surpassing Mutshu's previous record of 102 matches set in 2019. Dynamo Kyiv forward Gerson Rodrigues is on the verge of becoming Luxembourg's all-time leading goal scorer. Mart's record of sixteen goals, set in 1946, still stands.
