Bosnia & Herzegovina take on the visitors Cyprus in the round 3 match of qualification for the World Cup 2018. The game takes place at Bilino Polje (Zenica) on Monday, October 10th.
Bosnia and Herzegovina were considered as one of contenders for the first place in the group but 0-4 loss to Belgium makes us question teams’ abilities to battle for anything higher than a second place in the group. The hosting side has three points after two matches as they started the qualifiers with 4-0 win over Estonia. Bosnia undefeated at home for over two years since 1-2 loss exactly to Cyprus in September 2014.

Cyprus don’t show any signs of improvement since that win and can be considered as group underdogs. Two starting matches of qualification were lost, 0-3 to Belgium and 0-2 to neighbors Greece. The team is on five-match losing streak in official matches since last October.
The opponents met in qualifying group for Euro 2016, exchanging away wins, 2-1 and 3-2. The hosts proved them as skilled side who has enough talent to battle leading national teams. On top of that, Bosnia need to bounce back after loss to Belgium and need to revenge recent home loss to Cyprus, so the hosts will be extremely motivated today.
Prediction for the match: Bosnia & Herzegovina to win with -1.0 Asian handicap.
