Bosnia and Herzegovina Stats & Team News

The Dragons stopped the hosts in the opening game, which finished 1-1. Despite Canada’s dominance, Bosnia had its chances to win here, but one point is enough for them.

This is the 9th straight game in which the Dragons didn’t lose. Also, this is their 3rd consecutive tie, and the 6th straight game with under 2.5 goals. Both teams have scored in all but one of Bosnia’s previous 10 games.

Likely Lineup:

(4-3-3) Vasilj; Burnic, Gigovic, Muharemovic, Memic; Celik, Basic, Bajraktarevic; Mahmic, Demirovic, Dzeko

Head-to-Head Stats

There was a friendly back in 2016, when Bosnia won 0-1 in Switzerland.

Switzerland vs. Bosnia & Herzegovina World Cup Picks

This will be a very tough game, because a lot is at stake. Knowing that they have Qatar in the last round, the Bosnian team won’t be pushy in attack and won’t open up. Meanwhile, both they and the Swiss play tactical football, which is another reason to bet on low efficiency. Our suggestion for this contest is under 2.5 hits.
