Bosnia and Herzegovina<\/a> host Romania<\/a> at Bilino Polje in Zenica on Tuesday 17 November, a 7.45pm (UK time) kick-off in the Nations League, with the home side already assured of second place in League B, Group 4.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bosnia and Herzegovina have banked a promotion play-off place and arrive as 5\/6 favourites, while Romania travel with real motivation after a first win of the campaign, beating Poland<\/a> 2-1 last time out to keep their survival hopes alive, though they remain bottom of the group. We have worked through the Bosnia and Herzegovina vs Romania odds for our best bets, two premium picks and a score prediction below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Premium Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Anthony Eadson expects an open game in Zenica, with Bosnia strong at home but Romania arriving on the back of a result and needing a win to escape the relegation play-off place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Premium Tip<\/th>Odds<\/th>Why we’re backing it<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
Both teams to score – Yes<\/strong><\/td>4\/5 (Betfred<\/a>)<\/td>Goals have followed Bosnia around of late. Their meeting with Romania back in September produced six goals in a 4-2 win in Bucharest, and their last outing was a 3-2 defeat away to Sweden in which both sides scored freely. Romania are the group’s leakiest side but found the net twice in beating Poland last time out, and with a win the only result that keeps their survival hopes alive they will have to come forward. At 4\/5 with Betfred, both teams to score looks the way into this one.<\/td><\/tr>
Bosnia and Herzegovina to win and both teams to score<\/strong><\/td>3\/1 (Paddy Power<\/a>)<\/td>Bosnia are rightly favourites at home, where they drew with Sweden and beat Poland earlier in the group, but Romania carry enough of a threat for us to expect goals at both ends rather than a shut-out. Backing a home win alongside both teams scoring reflects a 2-1 scoreline and lands a far bigger price than Bosnia’s short outright odds. At 3\/1 with Paddy Power, this is where we see the value.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

How Bosnia and Herzegovina go into the game<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bosnia and Herzegovina have enjoyed an excellent campaign, finishing second in League B, Group 4 and securing a promotion play-off place with a game to spare. Only group winners Sweden<\/a> have bettered them, and the Bosnians took eight points from their first four games before a spirited 3-2 defeat in Stockholm on Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They have been especially strong at Bilino Polje, where they held Sweden to a 1-1 draw and saw off Poland 1-0, and they beat Romania 4-2 when the sides met in September. With their play-off spot already banked, this is a chance to round off a fine group on a high in front of their own supporters. Ermedin Demirovic<\/a> and Haris Tabakovic<\/a> lead a forward line that has had to adjust since Edin Dzeko<\/a> called time on his international career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

How Romania go into the game<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Romania arrive in far better spirits than their position suggests. Gheorghe Hagi<\/a>‘s side had lost their opening four matches and shipped goals heavily, but a 2-1 home win over Poland last time out finally got them up and running and keeps a flicker of survival hope alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The task remains daunting. Romania sit in the relegation play-off place and must win in Zenica, while hoping Poland fail to beat Sweden, to climb to the safety of third. They have conceded freely all campaign, including a 4-2 loss to this very Bosnia side in September, so Hagi will know a clean sheet is a tall order, but the Poland win showed his players can still find the net and cause problems going forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Bosnia and Herzegovina vs Romania head-to-head<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bosnia and Herzegovina got the better of Romania when the sides met in Bucharest in September, running out 4-2 winners in a game played behind closed doors. That result underlines the recent balance of power between the two, and with the all-time record close and not without dispute we have kept this to prose rather than quote a full tally: the Bosnians go into the return as favourites on home soil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bosnia and Herzegovina vs Romania score prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bosnia have their play-off place secured and can play with freedom in front of their own fans, where they have been tough to beat all group. Romania are much improved after finally getting a win on the board against Poland, and with survival still mathematically possible they will push for goals, but they remain the leakiest side in the section and shipped four here only in September. We expect Bosnia to edge an open contest in which Romania make them work, with Anthony Eadson backing a 2-1 home win. Score prediction: Bosnia and Herzegovina 2-1 Romania. Score prediction: Bosnia and Herzegovina 2-1 Romania.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n
