Cyprus vs Bosnia Match Preview
Cyprus is currently fourth in Group H of the UEFA World Cup qualifiers with seven points coming from two wins against Gibraltar and a scoreless draw against Estonia. The island nation is built of mostly players who play domestically and on paper does not have nearly the talent of what Bosnia has to offer. Cyprus needs this win to keep their hopes of qualifying to the 2018 World Cup alive and can definitely get some points out of this game especially with the home-field advantage.
Bosnia is doing much better than Cyprus currently third in Group H with 11 points from six games with three wins, two draws and one loss. The Dragons are only a point back of Greece in second and five points back of Belgium in first and with few games left in the qualifiers, this is a crucial, must-win game for Bosnia.
Edin Dzeko and Miralem Pjanic are two of the most notable players on this Bosnia squad along with Arsenal’s Sead Kolasinac. The Golden Lilies defeated Cyprus 2-0 the last time these two teams faced each other and should get the three points from this game even playing away from home.
