Portugal vs Bosnia and Herzegovina Lineups and Last Match
Portugal
Roberto Martinez's side strolled to victory away at Luxembourg last time out. Ronaldo scored twice, while Felix, Bernardo Silva, Otavio and Leao also got on the scoreboard in a 6-0 victory for Portugal. Martinez's men have a 100% record from their opening two games and many believe they could go through the entire qualification campaign without dropping a single point.
Predicted Lineup – Patrício (GK), Dias, Dalot, Mendes, A. Silva, Pereira, Fernandes, Palhinha, B. Silva, Ronaldo & Félix
Bosnia-Herzegovina
Bosnia and Herzegovina were without Edin Dzeko when they made the trip to Slovakia last time out, and it showed. The visitors failed to score a single goal and went down 2-0 in the end. Even with the Inter Milan striker back in their side, Bosnia-Herzegovina face an uphill task this weekend against Ronaldo and co, and if the visitors could come away with a point, that would be a great result.
Predicted Lineup – Šehić (GK), Saničanin, Ahmedhodžić, Gazibegović, Dedić, Miličević, Pjanić, Hadžiahmetović, Prevljak, Džeko & Tahirović

Player to Watch: Cristiano Ronaldo
Despite being 38 years old, Ronaldo is still a vital part of the Portugal squad and top scores in qualifying with 4-goals.
Now playing his football in Saudi Arabia with Al Nassr, Ronaldo is still banging in the goals as you might expect in a lower league, but 14-goals in 16-matches is still very impressive and has kept him in the Portugal side securing even more caps and goals.
Ronaldo is the greatest goalscorer in the history of international football and we fully expect him to have another good game against Bosnia-Herzegovina and that will probably mean even more goals being added to his amazing record, 198-caps and 122-goals.
