Having crashed back down to earth with a heavy defeat against the Swiss, the Bosnians will be back at it on Wednesday, when they take on Qatar in Seattle. This is a big game for both nations, with a win for either probably being enough to progress.
After disappointing against the Swiss, the Bosnians now need to bounce back and deliver a better performance, especially in terms of cutting-edge, while the Qataris will also be looking to bounce back.
Given that both teams lost heavily last time out, both will be very keen to tighten up, so a relatively low-scoring game could easily unfold. When push comes to shove, the Europeans should have that bit more in terms of quality, leaving ‘Bosnia & Gerzegovina to Win & Under 3.5 Goals’ as the most appealing bet.

Bosnia Herzegovina - Qatar: Form Analysis
There was lots to like about the way in which the Bosnians toughed it out against the Canadians. They defended stoutly, and capitalised on their big set-piece moment at the other end. Unfortunately, although they did hold firm for a long time against the Swiss, once they conceded, they folded rather tamely, so much so that they may not be feeling too confident ahead of this game. Fortunately, their opponents took an even heavier beating and should be feeling even less upbeat.

You could also say something similar for the Qataris, who despite riding their luck at times, played reasonably well against the Swiss, earning a point late on. Such a result should have given Julen Lopetegui’s men the confidence to kick on and deliver a defiant effort against the Canadians. Instead, they were all over the place, both defensively and in terms of discipline, so much so that they took a serious beating.

Bosnia Herzegovina & Qatar Squad Analysis
Sure, the Bosnians lost quite heavily against the Swiss, but for the first hour of the contest, they performed relatively well, so we shouldn’t be too surprised if Sergej Barbarez picks a similar team. He may be tempted to try and fit both Esmir Bajraktarevic and Kerim Alajbegovic, both of who’ve looked lively and creative, into the same team for the first time at this tournament. Following his red card last time out, Tarik Muharemovic will miss out.
Homam Al Amin was dismissed during the first half against Canada and is thus out, while Assim Omer Madibo is also out having been sent off during the second half.
The Qataris will also be missing players through suspension. Homam Al Amin was dismissed during the first half against Canada and is thus out, while Assim Omer Madibo is also out having been sent off during the second half. Ahmed Fathi is expected to deputise in midfield. Sultan Al Brake will likely come in at the back.

Our Bosnia Herzegovina vs Qatar Prediction
Let's be honest, if the Bosnians were looking for a big opporunity to reach the knockouts courtest of a final-group-game win, then this is it. Sergej Barbarez's men could not have asked for more. They're up against a Qatari team that has very little to offer going forward, so as long as they avoid doing anything silly, they should get over the line with minimal fuss.
Typically pragmatic in approach, they won't go crazy, but as long as they remained disciplined, the Bosnians can come out on top in relatively low-scoring style.
