Bosnia and Herzegovina

Sergej Barbarez's team secured a 2-1 victory over Cyprus at home in the last round. This marked Bosnia and Herzegovina's first back-to-back wins in World Cup qualification since 2016. Additionally, the team has managed to keep a clean sheet only twice in their last 12 matches in this tournament. They have collected six points from two matches and lead the group confidently.

• The team has not won in regular time in 6 of their last 7 home matches in World Cup qualification (2 draws, 4 losses).
• The team conceded within 90 minutes in their last six home games in this tournament.
• Bosnia has not scored more than two goals in regular time in their last five home World Cup qualifiers.

Predicted lineup for Bosnia and Herzegovina (4-5-1)

Nikola Vasilj – Tarik Muharemovic, Adrian Leon Barisic, Stjepan Radelic, Arijan Malic – Amar Dedic, Armin Gigovic, Ivan Sunjic, Benjamin Tahirovic, Ermedin Demirovic – Edin Dzeko.

Notably, defender Sead Kolasinac will miss the upcoming matches due to injury.

San Marino

Roberto Cevoli's side could not withstand Romania at home in the last round, suffering a 1-5 defeat. Consequently, San Marino extended their losing streak in World Cup qualification, which has been ongoing since 2001 and now totals 55 matches. However, the team managed to score for the first time in seven matches in this tournament. San Marino is at the bottom of the group standings.

• The team has lost in regular time in their last 27 away matches in World Cup qualification.
• The team has not scored within 90 minutes in their last seven away games in this tournament.
• San Marino conceded at least four goals in regular time in 7 of their last 9 away World Cup qualifiers.

Predicted lineup for San Marino (4-5-1)

Edoardo Colombo – Tommaso Benvenuti, Michele Cevoli, Dante Carlos Rossi, Filippo Fabbri – Alessandro Golinucci, Marcello Mularoni, Alberto Riccardi, Valli Casadei, Samuele Zannoni – Nicola Nanni.

Match Prediction: Bosnia and Herzegovina vs. San Marino

In the last two World Cup qualification campaigns, Bosnia and Herzegovina have not performed well, and even at home, they have rarely pleased their fans with results. In their last seven home World Cup qualifiers, Bosnia and Herzegovina have only won once, and that was against Cyprus, one of the weakest teams in Europe. Additionally, during this period, they lost to Finland (1-3) and failed to beat Kazakhstan (2-2).

San Marino continues to lose match after match in World Cup qualifiers, but they try to avoid extremely heavy defeats. In their last five matches in this tournament, they were only heavily defeated by England, with the goal difference not exceeding four in other games. I expect the team to put up resistance against their opponent this time as well. My prediction: San Marino with a handicap (+4.5)
