Comments and predictions for Bosnia-Herzegovina vs San Marino: Crush the away team

Latest Bosnia-Herzegovina vs San Marino team information

Bosnia coach Sergej Barbarez has called up 26 players, led again by veteran captain Edin Dzeko, who is likely to make his 141st appearance for the team on Saturday.

However, key players Sead Kolasinac, Rade Krunic and Sheffield United defender Anel Ahmedhodzic are all absent – ​​with Ahmedhodzic recently withdrawing from the squad for personal reasons.

With Kolasinac out with an anterior cruciate ligament injury sustained in April, Amar Dedic or Nail Omerovic are likely to be deployed at left-back.

San Marino's hopes, meanwhile, largely rest on Nicola Nanni, who scored twice in their successful League C campaign last year.

Nicko Sensoli scored as they beat Liechtenstein for their first competitive win, and the teenage striker from Tre Fiori is also competing for a starting spot.

Most of San Marino's players play domestically, but twins Tommaso and Giacomo Benvenuti, who are both on the books of Sassuolo's U19 side, both made appearances in March. Former captain Matteo Vitaioli has not been included in the squad.

Latest football prediction Bosnia-Herzegovina vs San Marino

Back-to-back wins – away to Romania and then home to Cyprus – have put Bosnia in control of Group H heading into the second round of matches.

Looking to qualify for only their second World Cup as an independent nation – and their first since 2014 – Bosnia currently leads Romania, but Austria are also in the running after reaching the UEFA Nations League play-offs in the spring.

So the Dragons need to continue to take all three points this weekend – ideally while improving their goal difference.

Head coach Sergej Barbarez has been in charge of the team for just over a year, initially facing criticism after losing six of his first eight matches ahead of 2025.

However, having improved their situation, beating San Marino twice in a row has become imperative: Bosnia will face the minnows in two upcoming qualifiers, with Tuesday's friendly against Slovenia in between.

The two teams have only met once before on the road to the 2006 World Cup in Germany, with Bosnia winning both legs 6-1 on aggregate – and a similar result is expected.

In contrast to the home team, San Marino suffered two consecutive defeats in this year's World Cup qualifiers - losing 1-2 to Cyprus and 0-5 to Romania.

Those defeats came after a historic first-ever win in a major tournament and promotion to League C of the UEFA Nations League – a rather harsh return to earth.

Although they will likely finish bottom of Group H, Roberto Cevoli's team still have a chance to win a play-off spot through the "back door" of the Nations League, regardless of their performance in the remaining matches.

A more realistic target would probably be to avoid losing all of their games, which has happened in each of the last five campaigns – but holding Bosnia to a draw in Zenica remains a long shot.

After 164 World Cup and Euro qualifiers, the team nicknamed La Serenissima have yet to win; their last draw was against Estonia at home 11 years ago.
