## Form Guide and Preview

Bosnia and Herzegovina held co-hosts Canada to a respectable 1-1 draw on Matchday 1 before a chastening 4-1 defeat to Switzerland exposed serious defensive cracks, not helped by a second-half red card to centre-back Tarik Muharemović. Qatar’s tournament has been even grimmer — a battling draw with Switzerland followed by a humiliating 6-0 collapse against Canada, a result that also cost them two players to red cards.

Both sides sit level on a single point. A draw eliminates them both outright, making this a genuine must-win for two teams desperate to avoid an early flight home. Bosnia’s superior goal difference gives them a psychological edge, but their leaky defence means nothing is guaranteed.

## Probable Lineups

**Bosnia and Herzegovina (4-2-3-1):** Vasilj; Dedic, Hadzikadunic, Kolasinac; Tahirovic, Hadziahmetovic; Bajraktarevic, Demirovic, Gigovic; Dzeko (capt)

**Qatar (4-3-3):** Barsham; Pedro Miguel, Khoukhi, Al-Brake, Homam Ahmed; Boudiaf, Madibo, Abdulaziz Hatem; Afif, Almoez Ali, Al-Haydos (capt)

## Prediction

Edin Dzeko’s experience and Bosnia’s superior squad depth make them slight favourites in a fixture both teams simply cannot afford to lose. Expect a high-intensity, high-stakes encounter with Bosnia edging it narrowly.
