Bosnia vs. France Tips & Quotas, Mar 31, 2021 – 08:45 PM – World Cup Qualification Europe
The national teams of Bosnia-Herzegovina and France will meet at the Grbavica Stadium in Sarajevo on Wednesday evening, 31.03.2021 at 8:45 pm, on the 3rd day of the World Cup Qualification Group D. The Zmajevi only played a qualifying game, visited Finland on Wednesday last week and only picked up one counter. The Tricolore team has two games on their shoulders and was able to win after the disappointing opening match against Ukraine at home (1-1) last weekend in Kazakhstan. The French (4 points) lead the group ahead of Finland (2), Ukraine (2), Bosnia (1) and Kazakhstan (0).

Ivaylo Petev’s national team started QM qualifying last week with the away game in Finland. After a scoreless first half, the offensive sight fell in the second half. First the Zmajevi went through Pjanic with 1:0 in front (55th). Only three minutes later the Finns equalised 1:1 (58th, Pukki). In the final phase, the ex-shaker tied up a double pack and led the home team 2-1 (77th). However, the trade fair had not yet been read, because Stevanovic managed to equalise 2-2 in the 84th minute, which was also the final score.
The Petev-Elf did not play a good year in 2020 and remained without victory in all six Nation League games, which meant relegation from League A with only two points. The new Dutch season started well with the points win in Italy (1:1). Also against Holland there was a counter at home (0:0). However, the other four games were all lost. Among other things, twice against Poland.
Bosnia-Herzegovina has so far only participated in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil and had to pack its bags again after the preliminary round. In the first two games there were no points against Argentina and Nigeria. After all, the Zmajevi bid farewell to Copacabana against Iran with a 2-1 victory and at the same time celebrated the first World Cup victory ever. The final round in Russia four years later took place again without Bosnia.
Bosnia has never been to a European Championship and just missed its first participation last year. The Bosnians qualified for the European Championship playoff games and were eliminated in the first of only two rounds against Northern Ireland after penalty shootouts. This quickly put an end to the dream of the first EURO in association history.
Coach Petev has been tested positive for Corona after 2-2 against Finland and will not sit on the bench against France.
With Freiburg’s Ermedin Demirovic and Schalke’s Sead Kolasinac, two Bundesliga regionals are in the Bosnian national squad. In addition to the two players Miralem Pjanic from the Spanish top club FC Barcelona and Captain Edin Dzeko from the Italian first-team AS Rome are among the stars in the team.

The reigning world champion did his homework on Sunday and won 2-0 in the opening match against Ukraine in Kazakhstan after a weak 1-1. After 19 minutes of idling, Dembele led the team Tricolore 1-0 with a full shot. Even after the lead, the team of Didier Deschamps was decisive for the game, but struggled against weak Kazakhs. An own goal by Maliy after a corner put the favourite ahead of the half-time whistle 2-0 in front (44th). In the second 45 minutes the French scored the third goal by Griezmann (47th), Mbappe (62nd, 71st) and Dembele (69th). Superstar Kylian Mbappe gave the biggest opportunity in the final quarter of an hour with a shot penalty (75th). An arduous but deserved 2-0 win for France.
The two-time World Cup winner will meet Portugal, Germany and Hungary in a group at the upcoming EURO. At the same time, the Tricolore team has the opportunity to take revenge on Portugal, which won the 2016 European Championship against the host in France in the final.
Almost three years ago, France won the World Cup crown in Russia in the final against Croatia (4-2) and completed a very strong tournament. With the exception of the zero number against Denmark in the last group game (qualification for the eighteenth finals had already been determined), they won all the World Cup matches and earned world championship. Next year the title will be defended in Qatar.
N`Golo Kante of FC Chelsea London is injured and will miss the last international match in March.

The French national team is a clear favourite in the third World Cup qualifying game in Bosnia-Herzegovina. The Tricolore team slowly gets going after the stutter start against Ukraine and the work victory in Kazakhstan. The Zmajevi was favourite in the only qualifying game in Group D in Finland so far, but could not go beyond a 2-2 and with the late equaliser could still be happy not to have lost. The world champion in Sarajevo will not be a self-runner. Bosnia demonstrated morale against top teams in the Nations League last year and scored against Italy and Holland. To take the three points home, the Deschamps Elf will need a good performance, otherwise there may be a nasty surprise at the Grbavica Stadium. We’re betting on a goal-rich international game with a better outcome for the French. So we favor for this tip forecast also the 3-way bets on France wins, where betting odds can be fetched on average between 1.33 and 1.40.
