Team News

Starting with the hosts, San Marino have no fresh injury concerns ahead of Saturday's game against the Dragons.

Nicola Nanni, who found the back of the net twice during last year's Nations League campaign, is once again set to lead the line for La Serenissima.

As for Bosnia-Herzegovina, Ermin Bicakcic and Dario Saric were overlooked for squad selection by Sergej Barbarez, while Anel Ahmedhodzic remains in the international wilderness following his public spat with the Bosnian federation.

Arja Malic and Sead Kolasinac are both working their way back from injuries and Saturday's game comes too soon for the pair.

San Marino vs Bosnia-Herzegovina Odds

San Marino are the 50/1 underdogs to stun Bosnia-Herzegovina, while the visitors are the overwhelming 1/25 favourites for the victory.

A draw is currently 12/1, while over 3.5 total goals to be scored in the game is 10/11.

Bosnia-Herzegovina and both teams to score @ 16/5

Bosnia-Herzegovina have won all three previous meetings with San Marino and there is little to suggest that their perfect winning record won't continue on Saturday.

However, there's value to be had siding with San Marino to at least get on the scoresheet in a losing cause this weekend.

La Serenissima have had more about them in the final third in recent years, and they have scored in seven of their last nine home games.

With Nanni set to be leading the line for the hosts once again, San Marino might well find the back of the net in this one, even if the Dragons run out comfortable winners in this Group H encounter.

Edin Dzeko two or more goals @ 13/5

These sides have already met in Group H and it was Bosnia-Herzegovina who managed to edge out a 1-0 victory on home soil.

A more open game is expected in San Marino this weekend and veteran Edin Dzeko has an opportunity to shine.

Aged 39, the Fiorentina striker is still going strong and actually scored the decisive goal in the last meeting between these sides.

With 68 goals in his international career, Dzeko is good value to at least hit the 70-goal mark for his country on Saturday night.
