We said: Bosnia-Herzegovina 1-0 Cyprus

Things can only get better for Cyprus after a dismal few years, and this fixture will paint a clear picture of where they are at, and whether they can be competitive in the section. After a fantastic win on matchday one, it would be typical of Bosnia to blunder and drop points in this easier clash on paper, but they should get the job done against a side 56 places below them in the rankings, and they will fancy their chances of keeping a first clean sheet in nine home matches.
