Bosnia-Herzegovina vs San Marino Prediction: Crushing the visitors

Latest team news for Bosnia-Herzegovina vs San Marino

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

However, key players such as 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 sidelined due to an anterior cruciate ligament injury sustained in April, it is likely that Amar Dedic or Nail Omerovic will be deployed at left-back.

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

Nicko Sensoli scored the winning goal against Liechtenstein for their first official victory, and the teenage striker, currently playing for Tre Fiori, is also competing for a starting spot.

Most of the San Marino players play domestically, but twins Tommaso and Giacomo Benvenuti, who are on the books of Sassuolo's U19 team, both made appearances in March. Former captain Matteo Vitaioli was not included in this call-up.

Latest football match prediction: Bosnia-Herzegovina vs San Marino

Consecutive victories – away against Romania and then at home against Cyprus – propelled Bosnia to the top of Group H ahead of the second round of matches.

Aiming for their second World Cup qualification as an independent nation – and their first since 2014 – Bosnia currently leads Romania, but Austria has also entered the race after participating in the UEFA Nations League play-offs this spring.

Therefore, "The Dragons" need to continue to secure all three points this weekend – ideally while also improving their goal difference.

Head coach Sergej Barbarez has been in charge of the national team for over a year, initially facing much criticism after losing 6 of his first 8 matches leading up to 2025.

However, having improved their situation, beating San Marino twice in a row has become imperative: Bosnia will face this tiny team in the next two qualifying matches, sandwiched between a friendly against Slovenia on Tuesday.

The two teams have only met once before on their journey to the 2006 World Cup in Germany, when Bosnia won both legs with a 6-1 aggregate score – and a similar result is being 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.

These defeats came after their historic first-ever victory in an official tournament and promotion to UEFA Nations League C – a rather harsh return to earth.

Despite likely finishing last in Group H, Roberto Cevoli's team still has a chance to qualify for the play-offs through the Nations League, regardless of their results in the remaining matches.

A more realistic goal would probably be to avoid losing all the matches, which has happened in all five of the most recent campaigns – but holding Bosnia to a draw in Zenica remains a distant prospect.

After 164 World Cup and Euro qualifying matches, the team nicknamed La Serenissima has yet to win a single game; their last draw was against Estonia at home 11 years ago.
