Northern Ireland manager Tanya Oxtoby anticipates a challenging match against Bosnia-Herzegovina following a solid 4-0 victory for Bosnia over Romania in their Nations League opener. After losing 2-0 to Poland, Oxtoby emphasizes the need for her team to assert themselves from the start and improve their performance. Northern Ireland has previously beaten Bosnia in Euro 2025 qualifications, but Oxtoby acknowledges the need for high standards against a team with different playing styles. The squad aims to rectify their past mistakes and secure a home victory in this crucial encounter.
"Winning 4-0, it's pretty impressive - it's going to be tough and we need to assert ourselves from the start," said Oxtoby.
"We know what to expect but we need to improve and keep our levels high. That's the challenge for this group now."
"They're completely different [than Poland] in terms of their style of play...so we're looking forward to putting that right on Tuesday night."
