Bosnia & Herzegovina Preview – Can the Golden Lilies end on a high note?
Bosnia & Herzegovina had high hopes of finishing in the top two of Group D before a ball was kicked. However, they have had a poor qualifying campaign, picking up just one win from their seven fixtures. The Golden Lilies have drawn four and lost two of the other six.
Ivaylo Petev’s side suffered a disappointing 3-1 home reverse to Finland last weekend, which ended their slim World Cup hopes. They were two down when Luka Menalo pulled one back and eventually lost 3-1 in Zenica.
Bosnia will be glad to see the back of this World Cup qualifying campaign, though they can still overhaul Ukraine and finish in third position. The home victory is available at 7/2.
Ukraine Preview – Can the Ukrainians take second spot?
Ukraine still have every chance of finishing second in Group D. France, who won the group last weekend, will be looking for a victory over Finland, which will see the Ukrainians take the runners-up berth with three points in Bosnia.
Incredibly, the Ukrainians can still go through despite winning just one of their seven games. Oleksandr Petrakov’s side have been tough to beat, drawing six of the other six. In their last qualifier back in October, the Blue and Yellow drew 1-1 at home with Bosnia.

Bosnia & Herzegovina vs Ukraine Betting Advice
The game in Lviv two months back was a tight and tense affair. West Ham United man Andriy Yarmolenko opened the scoring after just 15 minutes. Ukraine held the lead until Anel Ahmedhodzic equalised 13 minutes from time.
Key Facts – Bosnia & Herzegovina vs Ukraine Betting Tip
- Bosnia and Ukraine have picked up just one win each in Group D
- The Ukrainians have drawn six of their seven matches
- The reverse fixture in Lviv ended in a 1-1 stalemate
There was noting to split these two when they locked horns on Ukrainian soil back in October, and this could be another close encounter between the two nations. However, Ukraine’s need for the points is far greater, and we fancy the Blue and Yellow to nick a narrow victory in Zenica. You can get 5/2 for the away side to win by one goal.
Roman Yaremchuk is Ukraine’s top scorer in Group D with three goals to his name. The Benfica ace has scored twice against Kazakhstan and once against Finland. Yaremchuk is the 4/1 favourite to open the scoring in this one.
