Team Form and Analysis:
San Marino enters this match with a difficult run of form, having lost all four of their opening qualifiers. They have struggled both defensively and offensively, conceding 12 goals while only scoring one. While they managed to keep Bosnia and Herzegovina at bay for 66 minutes in their last encounter, their defensive vulnerabilities were exposed in a recent 4-0 loss to Austria. The home side will be looking to secure their first-ever World Cup qualifying point, a feat they haven’t achieved since 2001.
Bosnia and Herzegovina, meanwhile, has been in excellent form, winning all three of their opening qualifiers. The visiting side has shown a solid defensive structure, including a 1-0 victory against San Marino in the reverse fixture. They will be looking to maintain their perfect record and consolidate their position at the top of the group.
Head-to-Head:
The historical head-to-head record between these two nations is heavily in favor of Bosnia and Herzegovina, who have won all three of their previous encounters. While their recent match was a narrow 1-0 victory, their previous two encounters in the 2006 World Cup qualifiers resulted in a 3-1 and 3-0 victory for Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Player to Watch:
San Marino: All eyes will be on their main attacking threat, Nicola Nanni, who scored twice during their successful UEFA Nations League campaign last year. He will be looked upon to provide a much-needed attacking spark for the home side.
Bosnia and Herzegovina: The focus for Bosnia and Herzegovina will be on their all-time leading goal scorer and captain, Edin Džeko. He scored the lone goal in their recent victory against San Marino and will be looking to add to his tally and help his team secure a comfortable victory.
Prediction:
Given Bosnia and Herzegovina’s superior talent, perfect qualifying record, and dominant head-to-head record against San Marino, they are the overwhelming favorites to win this match. While San Marino will be motivated to put on a resilient defensive performance, it is difficult to see them overcoming the Bosnian’s quality. A comfortable away victory for Bosnia and Herzegovina seems like a very likely outcome.
