• Both teams have scored in 10 of Bosnia’s last 11 matches
• Five of of Bosnia’s last seven matches have finished 1-1

Can either side bounce back?

Both of these sides suffered heavy defeats in the second round of games in Group B, with Bosnia falling 4-1 to Switzerland before Qatar were routed 6-0 by hosts Canada.

However, they each started the group stage with 1-1 draws, so neither side are out of the running to make the next round. Their poor goal differences could be a factor, but three points would give them a solid shot at the last 32.

However, the defensive issues they’ve faced remain a problem. Qatar have shipped a combined 7.8 Expected Goals in only two matches at this tournament, and they’ve managed one clean sheet across their last eight games.

However, Bosnia have seen both teams score in 10 of their last 11 matches. They drew 2-2 in Cyprus and won 4-1 in Malta in October, which suggests Qatar could have some joy going forward in this clash. The Bosnians have faced 11 shots on target across their two games at this tournament, and five of their last seven matches have finished 1-1.
