Bosnia & Herzegovina vs Italy Match Preview | European Qualifiers

BHZ vs ITA Dream11 Match Prediction: Bosnia & Herzegovina will take on Italy in a must-win contest in order to keep their hopes alive of qualifying for the Euros.

Meanwhile, the Italians have been in lethal form in the qualifiers as they’ve won eight in eight so far and sit firm at the top with 24 points and a berth in the Euro2020.

Bosnia currently resides at fourth with 10 points and is on level terms with Armenia. However, they would want to close the gap with Finland who sits at second with 15 points in Group J.

The Bosnians will have to go to hammer and tonks in the quest for a win against Roberto Mancini’ men.
