Bosnia-Herzegovina possible starting lineup:
Vasilj; Dedic, Radeljic, Barisic, Kolasinac; Tahirovic, Sunjic, Gigovic; Demirovic, Dzeko, Memic

Cyprus possible starting lineup:
Mall; Satsias, Sielis, Panagiotou, Anderson Correia; Loizou, Kousoulos, Kyprianou, Kastanos; Pittas, Sotiriou

Team Analysis:
Bosnia had not won in any of their previous 12 games, losing 10, starting the match as the outsiders, but Armin Gigovic's early strike settled the encounter in favour of the Dragons.

That result may give the Bosnian people some hope for the year ahead, after a woeful performance in qualifying for Euro 2024, and a UEFA Nations League campaign where they were utterly out of their depth.

Bosnia were relegated from League A in the autumn, failing to win any of their six matches, conceding 17 goals in the process, and ignoring their two wins against Liechtenstein in Euro 2024 qualifying, they lost seven of their eight matches.

Liechtenstein were the only team who finished below Bosnia in that section, with the Dragons even finishing a hefty eight points behind Luxembourg, illustrating just how far they have fallen a decade on from reaching the World Cup.

Bosnia won their first match in Euro 2024 qualifying against Iceland, so few will be getting carried away at this moment, but it does give them a platform to build on, ahead of facing a nation they sit 56 places above in the FIFA rankings.

Cyprus did shock them here in 2014 though, in what was the first meeting between the sides, and the visitors won the last encounter too, 3-2 in Nicosia in 2017, despite going 2-0 down early on.

Nowgoal Prediction: Bosnia-Herzegovina 1-0 Cyprus
