Bosnia & Herzegovina hosts Finland in round 7 of the Euro qualification. The match will be played on Saturday, October 12th at Bilino Polje (Zenica)
Bosnia still has a chance to progress from the group and get to the final part of Euro 2020. The team is 4th in the standings and lags 5 points behind the second place. But first, it needs to win the upcoming match. And it will be very difficult to do it, despite the pretty powerful squad (Dzeko from Roma, Krunic from Milan, Pjanic from Juventus, Bicakcic from Hoffenheim, Kolasinac from Arsenal)... Firstly, the Dragons show ambiguous results - they lost to the same Finns in their field (2-0), disgraced themselves in Yerevan (4-2) and gained only one point in the game with the Greeks, who failed the tournament. Secondly, Finland is boozy. The team plays in a disciplined manner, and it conceded only four goals in two matches against Italy.

Finland has four victories in this qualification, and all of them are “dry”. It lost two matches only to the Italians. The Finns are second in the group and have a margin of 3 points from Armenia and 5-points margin from the upcoming opponent. It is difficult to come up with the best chance to break into the final part of the European Championship for the first time in history. The Finns just need at least not to lose in Bosnia. The further calendar is much simpler further - the Finns take Armenia and Liechtenstein on the visitors. And if Finland wins those 2 matches, the last away round with Greece could turn into a formality. But now it should think about the upcoming game.
The men of Kanerva are quite capable of not losing. He managed to gather a very decent team. Many legionnaires represent such clubs as Den Bosch, Bristol, Glasgow Rangers, Norwich, Augsburg, Chievo, Gent, Bayer, etc. Yes, they do not play in elite clubs. So what? Bosnia has those who play in the elite. Where is Bosnia and where is Finland in the standings? As for the upcoming match, the Bosnians will beat their heads against the wall built by Finland on the outskirts of its penalty area and may well not break it. But the Eagle-owls may well run in a counterattack. They have a very good forward, Pukki, who scored 29 goals for Norwich last season. In this one, he has already scored six in 8 rounds. And he has 20 goals in 76 matches for the national team. Two of them were scored in the last match against Bosnia. He may well punish the Bosnians once again. Having collected all the data together, it is quite possible to bet that the visitors won’t lose.
Prediction for the match: Finland to win with +0.5 handicap
