The clear favorite for first place in this group is Portugal, and there will be a big battle for 2nd place. The first favorites for that position are Bosnia and Slovakia, while Iceland and Luxembourg are waiting for their chance from the background. There is also Liechtenstein, which is not yet up to such a task and will surely finish at bottom of the group. Bosnia has never qualified for the European Championship and now has a great opportunity to do so. In order to do that, she will have to play exceptionally well on her home field, and today will have her first opportunity to do so against Iceland. The home team is generally in a good rhythm because it took first place in the 3rd group of the "B" league and placed in the "A" division of the League of Nations, so if it fails to make it to Euro through the qualifications, it will have a chance in playoffs. In the last five games, the "Dragons" achieved 3 victories with a draw and a loss.

At the beginning of 2023, Bosnian football legend Hadzibegic sat on the bench of the national team. His main player is Dzeko, who is the best scorer in the history of the national team with 64 goals. The popular "Bosnian diamond" scored 7 goals for Inter in Serie A this season and provided 3 assists. Also, there is Demirovic from Augsburg who is playing well in the Bundesliga and I think that the two of them can score a goal against an unpleasant guest. After wowing everyone with their performances at the 2016 Euro, Iceland failed to qualify for any of the stronger competitions. At the beginning of January, he played two friendly matches in which he drew with Estonia and lost against Sweden. Manger Vidarsson has a difficult task ahead of him, he will try to make a surprise and lead his national team to Euro. And there are many scandals in Icelandic football these years and in general, the atmosphere is not the best in the team because the manager clashed with some experienced players, first of all, Bjarnasson. Iceland is not a team from past years and minding that Bosnia is on a good run of results and playing at home, I think it's smart to bet to back Bosnia to win this game at Zenica. Because Iceland will prioritize defence in this clash I don't see a lot of goals so under 2.5 goals and Bosnia winning is a very tempting bet.
