Greece vs Bosnia-Herzegovina Prediction
Greece got their campaign underway with a rudimentary 1-4 win away to Gibraltar and backed that up with a 2-0 triumph over rivals Cyprus. They didn’t need to pull up any trees to beat Estonia but have since lost 0-1 to Belarus in a friendly match and this will be tougher.
Bosnia-Herzegovina were rampant in their 5-0 opening day win over Estonia. The tables were turned though, when they went down 4-0 away to Group H favourites Belgium. The Golden Lilies bounced back against Cyprus and head to Piraeus looking for a win that would move them level on points with Greece.
Greece are not the force of old defensively and have become susceptible to letting a goal or two slip. In fact, they’ve kept just one clean sheet in their last 6 home games. In Edin Džeko and Vedad Ibišević, Bosnia-Herzegovina have the threat to expose any chinks in their armour and are tipped to come out on top.
