Bosnia and Herzegovina vs Ukraine Predictions

• Ukraine need to win in Zenica and hope Finland don’t take any points from their match with France to make the playoffs.
• Bosnia-Herzegovina are out of contention following their defeat to Finland on Friday.
• Ukraine are undefeated away from home in World Cup qualifying (Won 1, Drawn 2).
• Ukraine have scored exactly two goals in four of their last six World Cup qualifiers.

Back Zbirna to grab a couple in Zenica

Zbirna are a good on their travels – as their deserved 1-1 draw with the reigning world champions earlier this year demonstrated – but have issues in holding onto the leads that they take.

Oleksandr Petrakov’s side have taken the lead eight times in their last six qualifying games, but only held on for victory once. That’s the sort of stat that should send anyone looking to back the visitors at an odds-on price running for the hills, but we do like the look of one goals bet here.

Hosts allowed Finns to find net three times

Ukraine have scored exactly two goals in four of their last six World Cup qualifiers and can do so again against a Bosnia-Herzegovina side that have just shipped three at home to a Finland side not known for their scoring prowess.

The Dragons’ defence was also breached twice by Kazakhstan’s shot-shy unit, a strikeforce that has scored just five in eight qualifying games, in their previous home outing, so they are not showing secure form of late.

Ukraine to score at least two goals in the match offers a better return than the visitors to win, although both may be winning selections as the hosts have nothing but pride to play for. A 2-1 away win looks a good value pick in the correct score betting as the hosts have only scored more than one goal in one of their last 12 home internationals.
