Bosnia & Herzegovina vs Italy Match Preview

Bosnia & Herzegovina is ranked at the rock bottom of the group being 4th with just two points. They come after two draws and three losses over the last five matches, being the only team in the group and one of the three in the whole League A that are yet to win a game. The recent loss to the Netherlands decided their fate and now they have no more hopes to escape relegation to League B for the next tournament.

In five games they conceded nine goals while scoring just three and failed to keep a clean sheet in four encounters. Here they will miss their key player Dzeko so it makes things easier for Italy.

Italy, on the other side, is ranked at the first spot with nine points and comes in very good form as they are unbeaten in the last five matches collecting two wins and three draws. They are one point ahead of the Netherlands and with a win here they would secure a ticket for the League A Playoffs despite the result of the Netherlands vs Poland game.

The strongest side of the Italian team has been the midfield so far with three players like Barella, Jorginho, and Locatelli, because not only they have given more solidity during the defensive phase but also contributed in attack with Barella scoring a goal and providing an assist, while Jorginho scoring a goal. Even for this decisive game, I expect the three of them to start and once again they should help the team.

In conclusion, I think Italy can win this match and cover -1 goals of Asian handicap. They will be almost with their best players and the absences of Immobile and Bonucci should not be a problem to be replaced. Bosnia & Herzegovina got nothing left to play for and missing Dzeko I do not see how they could stop this superior Italy squad.
