Latest San Marino vs Bosnia team information
Coach Sergej Barbarez left out Ermin Bicakcic and Dario Saric from this call-up because both were clubless at the time the list was announced (Saric later joined Antalyaspor).
New signing Anel Ahmedhodzic (Feyenoord) is still left out of the squad due to a public conflict with the Federation. In addition, Arjan Malic and Sead Kolasinac are injured, so the left-back position can be given to Dzenis Burnic or Amar Dedic.
Up front, captain and all-time leading scorer Edin Dzeko – who scored the decisive goal in the first leg – competes for a starting spot with striker Ermedin Demirovic (Stuttgart).
On San Marino's side, the main hope is Nicola Nanni - who scored two goals in last year's Nations League.
He is one of eight San Marino players at risk of suspension if they pick up more yellow cards, including twins Giacomo and Tommaso Benvenuti, who are likely to feature in the home side's defence.

Latest San Marino vs Bosnia football prediction
Bosnia-Herzegovina started their World Cup qualifying campaign with two consecutive wins in March, and maintained their advantage at the top of Group H when they beat San Marino in early June.
Against the weakest opponent in the group, coach Sergej Barbarez and his team were not allowed to stumble, but it was thanks to the only goal of Edin Dzeko that they were able to take all 3 points in Zenica.
Bosnia are aiming to make their second appearance at the World Cup as an independent nation – after their only appearance in 2014. Although they top their group, they are only three points ahead of Austria, who have a game in hand.
Coach Barbarez started his reign with six defeats in eight matches, even losing 1-2 to Slovenia in a summer friendly. However, recent results in the qualifying round are rekindling hope for fans.
Before this meeting, Bosnia had only faced San Marino in the 2006 World Cup qualifiers and won both matches with a total score of 6-1. In the next meeting, they hope to continue their winning streak to four matches.
As the lowest-ranked team in the world, San Marino will find it difficult to compete with the four strong opponents in Group H, even though they previously caused a surprise in the Nations League.
“La Serenissima” won two and drew one of their four games to advance to League C – albeit against relatively strong opponents. This could open up the possibility of a play-off via the secondary route.
But in World Cup qualifying, San Marino lost all four of their opening games against Cyprus, Romania, Bosnia and Austria, conceding 12 goals. They held Bosnia to a draw until the 66th minute before Dzeko scored, but just days later conceded four goals in the first half hour against Austria.
After a 4-1 defeat in a friendly against Serie B club Modena last month, San Marino returned to Serravalle hoping to pick up their first points in World Cup qualifying since 2001.
