This fixture has been given the all-clear to go ahead, despite a Bosnia coach and player testing positive for coronavirus in the lead up to the game.
Assistant manager Rusmir Cviko and winger Haris Duljevic will play no part in the match, but officials are happy for the contest to still be played. That will be a huge relief to Northern Ireland, having already seen this fixture called off in March and then again in June due to the Covid-19 pandemic. A place in the Euro playoffs final will be at stake when Bosnia & Herzegovina take on Northern Ireland at Bilino Polje on Thursday evening. The Balkan Dragons aim to bounce back from the Nations League defeat to Poland, and they are likely to fight tooth and nail in the promotion game. As always, a man to watch in the home team will be Edin Dzeko. The good news for the hosts is that Barcelona summer signing Miralem Pjanic has overcome his injury.
The visitors, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 5-1 loss to Norway. Considering that Northern Ireland are not regarded as good travelers, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home side. In their last meeting in a competitive match, Bosnia recorded a 2-0 win over Northern Ireland.
Unsurprisingly, then, neither sides' preparations have been all that good given the lack of international football played over the last 12 months. Northern Ireland drew 1-1 at Romania last month in their UEFA Nations League opener - Gavin Whyte scoring a late equalizer - before falling to a 5-1 home loss against Norway. It is not exactly the start new boss Ian Baraclough would have wanted, but that most recent result will quickly be forgotten about if his side can overcome Bosnia on Thursday. The hosts have failed to qualify for back-to-back major tournaments and lost 2-1 to Poland last time out, fresh on the back of holding Italy to a 1-1 draw.

Dusan Bajevic's side have won just one of their last five games - a 3-0 victory over minnows Lichtenstein - though Northern Ireland have themselves gone four without a win. In fact, the visitors have lost four of their last seven matches, shipping 19 goals across those seven games, including 12 in their last three.
Northern Ireland have also lost each of their two previous matches against Bosnia-Herzegovina, with those games coming in the 2018-19 UEFA Nations League campaign. The hosts have never qualified for a major tournament via the playoffs, which is also the case for their opponents, but we can see them advancing with a narrow win on Thursday.

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
