Sweden vs Bosnia & Herzegovina prediction

THE FORECAST

Sweden lead Group 1 with 10 points and hold a 26-place FIFA ranking advantage over Bosnia, while their home record of 61% wins in competitive matches strongly supports a home victory. Both sides are well-rested with 40 days since their last match and no injury or suspension concerns, so full-strength lineups are expected from both camps. Bosnia have been solid defensively (2 clean sheets) but their away record of only 31% wins and Sweden's superior quality make the hosts the clear favourite, though the tight scoring averages of both teams suggest a competitive, relatively low-scoring contest.
