Team Form and Analysis:
Bosnia and Herzegovina enters this match in excellent form, having won all four of their opening qualifiers. They are coming off a dominant 6-0 victory over San Marino and have shown a solid defensive structure, conceding only one goal in the group. Under manager Sergej Barbarez, the Dragons are on track to reach their second-ever World Cup and will be looking to secure a crucial home victory to maintain their lead at the top of the group.
Austria, meanwhile, is also in excellent form with a perfect record in their first three qualifying games. They are coming off a narrow 1-0 victory against Cyprus and will be looking to close the three-point gap on Bosnia and Herzegovina with a game in hand. Under the management of Ralf Rangnick, the Austrian side has shown an impressive high-tempo, high-pressing style of play and will be looking to secure a crucial away victory to get themselves in a strong position in the group.
Head-to-Head:
The historical head-to-head record between these two nations is remarkably even, with Bosnia and Herzegovina holding a slight edge with one win and two draws in their three previous meetings. Their last competitive meeting in the 2018 UEFA Nations League ended in a 0-0 draw, while Bosnia secured a 1-0 victory in their first-ever competitive encounter.
Player to Watch:
- Bosnia and Herzegovina: All eyes will be on their captain, Edin Džeko. The veteran striker is the all-time leading goal scorer for his country and has been in sensational form, scoring in each of his last three qualifying matches.
- Austria: The focus for Austria will be on their key attacking players, particularly Marko Arnautović and Marcel Sabitzer, who have been instrumental in their recent matches. Sabitzer has a remarkable record of scoring in both of his last two starts for Austria and will be a key threat to the Bosnian defense.
Prediction:
This match is expected to be a tight and highly competitive affair, with both teams looking to avoid a defeat that could jeopardize their chances of a direct spot at the World Cup. While Austria has a higher FIFA ranking and a strong recent form, Bosnia and Herzegovina’s home advantage and their excellent recent form in the qualifiers make them a formidable opponent. A hard-fought draw seems like a very plausible outcome.
