Prediction: Bosnia 1-2 Finland
We expect a good clash in this one given the slim hopes of progression. The hosts and visitors have won 2 of their last 5 matches each and come into this on an equal footing.
With a lot at stake, we see a closely fought clash but due to a better performance in the qualifiers, we expect Finland to edge this one.
