Of the teams in this fixture, only Iran has any chance of qualifying to the second round of World Cup 2014. Even their hopes are slim and depend on the result of the Argentina-Nigeria match. Iran can entertain those hopes only if they can secure an outright win – a handsome win at that. They will also have to pray for a handsome win for Argentina over Nigeria. If both Iran and Argentina win, Iran and Nigeria will end up with four points. In that case, goal difference will come to the fore.

Bosnia-Herzegovina-Iran Preview

Iran will be kicking themselves for conceding a last-minute goal against Argentina. While the goal resulted from the superior shooting skills of Lionel Messi, the Iran defenders were slow in closing the defensive gap. Now they have to get themselves up from that defeat and face Bosnia, who is out of the tournament with two straight defeats, but a strong opponent nevertheless.

Bosnia was denied a clear goal against Nigeria, when the scores were level, when the linesman erroneously raised the offside flag. Against Argentina, they conceded a self goal early into the match and paid the penalty for it in the end.

They are a far better team than these results indicate. It would not be a surprise if they manage to beat Iran.

Players

Edin Džeko had that goal disallowed against Nigeria. He will be keen to score his first goal of the tournament. Vedad Ibisevic too will be eager to add to his tally.

Iran produced a heroic defensive performance against Argentina. While the defenders will be looking forward for an encore, their strikers Reza Ghoochannejhad and Ashkan Dejagah, will be desperate to score their first goal of the tournament.

Bosnia-Herzegovina-Iran Prediction

Iran is a kind of team that does not score and does not allow the others to score either. Bosnia has some good strikers, but they are not in their best of forms. A draw is a strong possibility.
