Preview
Ukraine come into this one after a 2-1 away win over Finland in their previous match.
Yarmolenko broke the deadlock for the visitors before Pukki restored parity for the hosts but Yaremchuk’s 34th minute strike proved to be the difference maker as Ukraine won.
This win was their first after three successive draws, sending them to 2nd in the table with 8 points.
On the other hand, Bosnia & Herzegovina were victorious in their last match against Kazakhstan as well by a 2-0 away margin.
Prevljak scored twice to send Bosnia to 3rd in the table with 6 points.
This is set to be a quality contest with both sides aiming to keep their WC chances alive.
There is just a difference of two points between 2nd and 3rd, a result here changes the complexion of the Group D.
Neither side has met each other before in a competitive match. Hence, the rivalry begins on Wednesday with plenty at stake.

Both sides haven’t played with any form of consistency but are set to put in everything they have got here.
A result for either side is handy in the larger scheme of qualification, but we foresee a draw taking place.
Neither side would look to lose it at this point as a turn for the worse is awaiting with a loss.
