Latest information on the Bosnia vs Austria match lineups.
Coach Barbarez is considering whether to continue pairing captain Edin Dzeko with Ermedin Demirovic in attack or add a midfielder when facing the strongest opponent in the group. Bosnia is missing several key players: Anel Ahmedhodzic remains out, Arjan Malic and Sead Kolasinac are injured, and Ermin Bicakcic has been dropped due to not having a club.
Dzenis Burnic or Amar Dedic will fill the left wing-back position, while Stjepan Radeljic and Adrian-Leon Barisic will partner in central defense; Jusuf Gazibegovic, born in Austria, will occupy the right-back position.
On the Austrian side, the defense welcomes back captain David Alaba after a meniscus injury, while goalkeeper Alexander Schlager also returns from a wrist injury. However, Maximilian Wober and Gernot Trauner remain absent, and Stefan Posch is suspended.
In attack, Marko Arnautovic remains the first-choice option, while Andreas Weimann and Michael Gregoritsch will be available to come off the bench.

Latest football match prediction: Bosnia vs Austria
Bosnia extended their winning streak with a comfortable 6-0 victory over San Marino on Saturday, although they didn't truly explode until the 70th minute with Edin Dzeko's second goal. This was their fourth consecutive win in Group H.
Starting with two wins in March, Bosnia maintained their advantage with a victory over San Marino in June, also thanks to Dzeko's sole goal.
Bosnia's goal is to qualify for the World Cup finals for the second time since 2014. They are currently leading the group, ahead of Romania and Austria, although Austria still has a game in hand and is three points behind.
Coach Sergej Barbarez has overcome the initial difficulties, and now facing Austria is the biggest challenge. If they win, Bosnia will have control over their own destiny and secure first place.
Austria started late due to their participation in the Nations League play-offs last season, but since then they have consistently chased Bosnia. In their five encounters this century, Austria has only beaten Bosnia once.
Direct matches against their rivals will determine whether they secure first place in the group or have to settle for a play-off spot. Ralf Rangnick's team has won all three matches: beating Romania 2-1, defeating San Marino 4-0 in just half an hour, and most recently beating Cyprus 1-0 thanks to a penalty from Marcel Sabitzer.
Following a fairly positive performance at last year's Euro, Rangnick is under immense pressure to lead Austria back to the World Cup for the first time since 1998, so they can't afford to make any mistakes between now and November.
