Bosnia and Herzegovina to Win

The game Bosnia and Herzegovina vs Iceland will be played in the home team's favorite surroundings, Bilino Polje stadium in Zenica, and with the legendary Edin Dzeko still captaining the ship, the hosts will look to bolster their chances of a good start to the qualifying campaign. Bosnia and Herzegovina players will aim to change the narrative of their latest sub-par performances, especially the last competitive match that was played in September and which they lost 4-1 to Romania. The positive aspect for Bosnia and Herzegovina is that they won their last four matches at home. Iceland has won only two games out of their last 16 which will be something that the visiting team's players will try to change.
