Bosnia & Herzegovina

Group B · UEFA · FIFA #55

Bosnia qualify for only their second World Cup — their first was Brazil 2014, where they were unlucky not to advance from the group. Edin Džeko's international career has been remarkable in length; the next generation must now carry the load. They bring passion and unpredictable quality.

Tactical Analysis

A physical 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 that can match high-quality opponents. Džeko's intelligent movement in and around the box remains elite; the midfield provides defensive cover and connects play to the attack.

Betting Angle

Bosnia's group stage results tend to be hard-fought affairs — low-scoring match markets can have value given their defensive discipline.
