Bosnia-Herzegovina vs Qatar Bet Builder Tips: 33/1 bet for the Group B match

The FIFA World Cup is now in the final stages of the group section and we have an interesting match in Seattle, where both Bosnia-Herzegovina and Qatar need to win to qualify. This should mean we have an open match.

ITV will be showing the final Group B matches with this one being broadcast on the main channel with kick-off set for 8PM. We've put together a five-legged Bet Builder, priced up at 33/1 as of the time of writing for you to consider...

Bosnia-Herzegovina to win 

I will admit, this was the final leg I put in as despite the short 4/11 odds, nothing I have seen from Bosnia-Herzegovina so far has me thinking they are a great shot to win this match.

However, I did watch Qatar get absolutely rolled by Canada and even when that match was 11 v 11, it was completed one-sided. I know the Canadians had home advantage and a boisterous crowd behind them, but still, you don’t often get matches at this level any more where one team is completely outplayed.

If we look at the latest FIFA rankings, Qatar are actually the higher-ranked team, which to be honest, doesn’t make an awful lot of sense.

Both sides need the win to have a shot at progress to the latter stages of the tournament but I lean towards the European side to find a way, just like they did in UEFA qualifying and the play-off rounds; they are a team that plays to the end and I just think they find a way, potentially late.

Over 0.5 Away Team (Qatar) Goals

I do however like the Qataris to find the back of the net. Plenty of the smaller sides throughout this World Cup have scored in matches you might not expect.

South Africa scored against the Czechs, Uzbekistan scored when they played Colombia, Cape Verde scored twice against Uruguay, DR Congo got a late equaliser against Portugal. I could go on. They never looked like doing so against Canada but they were down to nine men for nearly a whole half and they did score against a good Swiss side.

Bosnia aren’t a great side and I suspect would be one of the teams top sides would like to face in the last 32. Qatar can get on the scoresheet and at least make this one interesting.

Over 10.5 Match Corners

Let me just double-check the stats from that Canada vs Qatar match. Twenty total corners, 19 of which were awarded to Canada. That is quite the stat. They also gave up 10 to Switzerland. Meaning that they alone have defended 29 corner kicks in two matches.

This one was one of my first selections when creating this Bet Builder. I like Sergej Barbarez's men to pile on the pressure and earn eight to nine easily, leaving us just needing two or three from Qatar themselves. With both sides needing to win, that should mean the game opens up in the second half, which potentially increases the corner count considerably.

Nikola Katić 1+ Shots on Target (Sub Switch)

I have had the Schalke 04 man in every one of my Bosnia-Herzegovina Bet Builders so far and he’s been good value. Two-plus fouls and a yellow card in the first match gave me a nice double but he didn’t make the two-foul mark in the match against Switzerland, despite committing his first one in the opening minutes.

Today I’m going for him to have 1+ Shot on Target. With a high corner count expected by me, I like his recent history of having at least one attempt on target in five of his previous eight matches where he’s not been substituted.

Akram Afif - 1+ Shots on Target (Sub Switch)

Once more into the breech dear friend. We had this last time out in a spectacular 210/1 shot where only the two Qatari player props let me down. The fact they were down to nine men probably didn’t help.

He is Qatar’s best attacking threat and with this being a ‘win or go home’ match, there is no reason for them to be conservative in attack. I like him to have at least one attempt on target and we are getting odds against, which really boosts up the price.
