Our prediction for this match:
St. James’ Park will be packed when England and Bosnia & Herzegovina lock horns in a friendly on Monday evening. The Three Lions have big ambitions for the upcoming European Championship finals and they surely want to impress in warm-up games. All Ben White, Marcus Rashford, and Jordan Henderson have been omitted, while Real Madrid ace Jude Bellingham should be rested after taking part in the Champions League final at the weekend.
The Balkan Dragons, on the other hand, continue relying on experienced Fenerbahce attacker Edin Dzeko, who made the cut. New boss Sergej Barbarez should rest injured duo Rade Krunic – Amar Dedic, but regardless of which players will be deployed in the starting XI, home win should be considered. As David faces Goliath in Newcastle, anything but a routine win would be a big surprise. It has to be noted that the two national teams meet for the first time ever.
Highlighted Player (Harry Kane):

Widely regarded as one of England’s best strikers at the moment, Harry Kane enjoyed a meteoric rise at Tottenham Hotspur, scoring 21 Premier League goals during the 2014/2015 campaign to be voted PFA Young Player of the Year.
The highly rated striker went on to surpass that achievement the following season as he helped Tottenham Hotspur mount a serious title challenge for the first time in club’s recent history and he made seamless transition to international football. Kane scored four goals in his first ten appearances for England to prove he was here to stay and at the same time established himself as a first choice striker in Roy Hodgson’s squad ahead of the Euro 2016 finals.
Kane is a modern striker, who is extremely dangerous in the opposition box, but it was some outstanding goals from distance as well as link-up play with teammates that earned him an excellent reputation in world football. Kane is expected to lead both Tottenham and England in years to come, that is if he can resist the lure of top European clubs that continue to cast admiring glances his way.
