Bosnia & Herzegovina hosts Iran in a friendly international match. The match will be played on Thursday, November 12th at Asim Ferhatovic-Hase Stadium (Sarajevo)
Last month Bosnia failed to qualify for the Euro directly, losing to Northern Ireland at home on penalties, although the hosts had an overwhelming game advantage and were ahead. Therefore, Bazevic's team doesn’t have a high level of motivation now. The defense is the team’s weak point, while Visca, Pjanic, and Dzeko do not always shine in the attack, so I am somewhat surprised to see that the hosts are considered favorites of the upcoming match.

In recent years, Iran has been famous for its reliable defense and conservative style of the game. The opponent should not create anything, while we will use our attempt for sure - that was the motto of Carlos Queiroz's team. Now the Croatian specialist Skočić coaches the team, and his players gathered only once this year - last month Iran defeated Uzbekistan on the road (1:2). Azmoun is dangerous at the helm Niyazmand is confident between the sticks, and the center of defense is usually very reliable.
Earlier, the teams crossed their paths at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, and then the Bosnians gained a meaningless victory (3-1). A lot of water has flowed under the bridge since then, but I think the visitors have a good chance of not losing. All the same, Iran's defense is much more reliable, while the hosts lost motivation last month, and they have been playing badly lately. Therefore, I think that the hosts will not be able to cope with the dense defense of the opponent and will not be able to win.
Prediction for the match: Iran to win with +0.5 handicap
