Draw
Finland and Bosnia will be eyeing a good start to the group campaign. Both teams have gone through a difficult patch of form. Bosnia required a solo goal to beat minnows Luxembourg while Finland have not managed to win since beating Bosnia back in November. Even with home advantage, Finland might struggle to break down the opposition, who may sit deep in their own half were looking for counter attacking options. Bosnia have lost only one of the last four away games.
Total goals under 2.5
Bosnia’s defensive approach is likely to make this game as a nonstarter in terms of entertainment. There have been less than 2.5 goals in the past five away matches for Bosnia. The last three games for Finland have also produced just under 2.5 goals.

Finland vs Bosnia-Herzegovina: UEFA Nations League Preview and Team News
Finland have frequently shown a desire to switch formations under the regime of Kanerva. For the upcoming game, Finland could go for a 5-3-2 formation that did extremely well in the 3-1 win over Bosnia back in November. This formation would allow the hosts with enough flexibility to overcome any defensive approach by the visitors. Finland have gone for a very strong lineup that is not missing too many players ahead of the game.
Finland Predicted Line-Up:
Hradecky, O'Shaughnessy, S. Vaisanen, S. Vaisanen, Alho, Uronen, Kamara, Lod, Schuller,Pukki, Pohjanpalo
Bosnia are not expected to make too many changes to the line-up which will feature a lot of experience in the form of players like Edin Dzeko. Even the bench also appears to be strong for the visitors. Unlike the home team who might go for five at the back, Bosnia might operate with four at the back and this could lead to pressure in the channels.
Bosnia-Herzegovina Predicted Line-Up:
Sehic, Kolasinac, Sanicanin, Civic, Ahmedhodzic, Pjanic, Besic, Gojak, Stevanovic, Krunic, Dzeko
