The story

Bosnia and Herzegovina have drawn all four of their most recent matches and are unbeaten in 12 of their last 14, while Qatar have failed to win 14 of their last 17. All four previous meetings between these sides finished under 2.5 goals, and both teams have struggled to open the scoring early, with neither side netting a first-half opener in the majority of their recent outings. Almoez Ali leads Qatar with an average xG of 0.97 per match over their last ten, while Edin Džeko tops the same metric for Bosnia and Herzegovina at 0.65.
