Bosnia and Herzegovina and Qatar face each other in their most decisive clash of the 2026 World Cup. With both sides tied in Group B, a win, a draw, or a defeat could significantly alter their future in the tournament. After failing to win either of their first two matches at the 2026 World Cup, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Qatar face each other to determine their future in the tournament. While Sergej Barbarez seeks to excel on the counterattack and through aerial play, Julen Lopetegui’s team aim to take control through possession of the ball. Because the result will definitively conclude Group B, a win, a draw, or a loss could significantly affect their position in the standings. Qatar have not managed to show their best version in the tournament, being thoroughly outplayed by both Switzerland and Canada. However, Julen Lopetegui could look for a response by dominating possession. Far from being a simple task, they could face difficulties breaking down the opposition’s strong defensive setup, which has impressed throughout several matches. Therefore, Akram Afif would need to deliver his best in the scoring side. Bosnia and Herzegovina have shown that they are not a national team that seeks to dominate. Instead, they are very comfortable defending in a low block. In addition, they rely on counterattacks through their midfielders and full-backs. With Edin Džeko and Ermedin Demirović leading the attack, they look to take advantage of precise crosses. With this approach, they are aiming for a victory to keep their hopes of reaching the 2026 World Cup Round of 32 alive. What happens if Bosnia and Herzegovina win over Qatar? In case Bosnia and Herzegovina secure a victory over Qatar, they would reach four points in the Group B. With this, they will rank among the 12 best-third placed national teams, having a strong chance of reaching the Round of 32. Nonetheless, their future will not be secured, as they would compete with other national teams. In that sense, the tiebreakers will have a huge role in their 2026 World Cup future. Jovo Lukic #25 of Bosnia and Herzegovina celebrates scoring his team’s first goa What happens if Bosnia and Herzegovina draw with Qatar? Bosnia and Herzegovina would still secure their third place in the Group B of the 2026 World Cup, if they draw to Qatar. Having a -3 in the goal difference, they would overcome their rivals’ -6 goal difference. Despite this, their spot in the Round of 32 is not guaranteed, as they must compete against other national teams to be among the top 8 qualifiers. What happens if Bosnia and Herzegovina lose to Qatar? If Bosnia and Herzegovina are defeated by Qatar, they would be eliminated from the 2026 World Cup. In their place, Julen Lopetegui’s team would hold third place in Group B, competing to reach the Round of 32. With this, Sergej Barbarez’s team would be eliminated in the group stage for a second consecutive tournament, leaving Edin Džeko without a chance to play in the knockout stages.
After drawing against Canada and losing to Switzerland, Bosnia and Herzegovina face Qatar looking for their first victory at the 2026 World Cup. For this reason, fans are closely monitoring Edin Džeko, as he is expected to be a difference-maker with his goalscoring ability. Bosnia and Herzegovina face Qatar in their third match of the 2026 World Cup. After drawing against Canada and losing to Switzerland, they arrive needing a victory to keep their knockout-stage hopes alive. However, Julen Lopetegui’s team could cause problems through their patient possession play and strong defense. Therefore, fans are closely monitoring Edin Džeko’s status, as he could make the difference in attack. Edin Džeko will start for Bosnia and Herzegovina in their final group-stage match. Although he has yet to score in the tournament, he remains the national team’s main reference point. With his excellent aerial ability and strong one-on-one play, he could take advantage of the spaces behind Qatar‘s defense. At 40 years old, he is aiming to shine in what could be his final edition of the tournament. Alongside Džeko, head coach Sergej Barbarez has decided to rely on Ermedin Demirović as his attacking partner. In addition, Kerim Alajbegović and Esmir Bajraktarević are expected to be difference-makers on the counterattack, thanks to their pace and efficiency. Rather than dominating possession, Bosnia and Herzegovina could lean on their aerial game, looking to exploit spaces in a Qatar defense that does not particularly excel in that area. Despite coming off a heavy 6–0 defeat to Canada, Qatar could look to show their best version by relying on a possession-based style of play as their main approach. To achieve this, head coach Julen Lopetegui has decided to trust Karim Boudiaf, Ahmed Fathi, and Jassem Gaber in midfield. However, all eyes will be on Akram Afif, the national team’s biggest star, as he looks to make an impact in front of goal. Bosnia and Herzegovina striker Edin Dzeko Bosnia and Herzegovina confirmed lineup vs Qatar Seeking their first victory, Bosnia and Herzegovina have decided to maintain their conservative approach. Head coach Sergej Barbarez has made a few changes, including the inclusion of Stjepan Radeljić at right-back. However, the flanks will be essential, as they will look to launch counterattacks and target the aerial ability of Ermedin Demirović and Edin Džeko. Bosnia and Herzegovina will lineup as follows: Nikola Vasilj; Stjepan Radeljic, Nikola Katic, Arjan Malic, Sead Kolasinac; Esmir Bajraktarevic, Ivan Šunjić, Ivan Bašić, Kerim Alajbegovic; Ermedin Demirovic, Edin Džeko. Qatar confirmed lineup vs Bosnia and Herzegovina Qatar are seeking redemption at the 2026 World Cup as they enter their match against Bosnia and Herzegovina looking to take control through possession. To achieve this, head coach Julen Lopetegui has decided to make major adjustments in midfield and at full-back. However, Edmilson Júnior and Akram Afif remain the focal points of the attack, where they will look to be clinical in front of goal. Qatar will play as follows: Mahmoud Abunada; Pedro Miguel, Boualem Khoukhi, Issa Laye, Sultan Al Brake; Ahmed Fathi, Jassem Gaber, Karim Boudiaf; Hasan Al-Haydos, Edmilson Junior, Akram Afif.
