Bosnia-Herzegovina started their 2022 World Cup campaign with a 2-2 draw with Finland in Group D and followed it up with 0-0 draw with Costa Rica in a friendly match. Next up is a home game against world champions France as they hope to rise from fourth while France, top of the group with four points, will be seeking to open up the gap at the top. Bosnia are winless in their last 10 matches, and the draw with Costa Rica presented their first clean sheet in six matches. They didn’t manage their game with Finland very well, letting their lead slip, but managed to salvage a late 2-2 draw. Against France, such may end up severely punished. One key area Bosnia will need to focus on is defence, having kept just three clean sheets in their last 15 matches, and they’ve conceded two or more goals in four of their last five matches. Bosnia carry to this game two wins in 15 matches and will be greatly tested by this French side, especially with the hosts run of seven winless matches and having scored no goal in four home matches. In their last six World Cup qualification matches, Bosnia have managed two wins, against the lower ranked Gibraltar and Estonia. While they have their issues in defence, Bosnia have scored two or more goals in each of their last five matches in World Cup qualifiers. At the same time, they’ve conceded two or more goals in three of the five.

France are coming from a 2-0 win over Kazakhstan and seem to be picking up after their opening draw with Ukraine. Manager Didier Deschamps made changes to the team that faced Kazakhstan; it paid off and he will be expected to retain most of the players who started the game. That win presented a fourth unbeaten outing and going to this game they are definitely the favorites, holding a four – match unbeaten run against Bosnia. The four matches have two wins and two draws; both wins came in Bosnia. France have one loss in their last 17 matches and have won each of their last seven away matches, with clean sheets in six and scoring two or more in four. Away from home, their only losses in the last 16 matches, have been against Turkey and Netherlands and in World Cup qualification matches, France have no loss in the last six, winning four. Les Bleus have lost just one of their last 13 World Cup qualification matches. In their last five away matches in the qualifiers, France have four wins and three clean sheets.
