Wales vs Bosnia preview
Wales walloped North Macedonia 7-1 in their last World Cup qualifying Group J video game in Cardiff but Welsh fans will be steeling themselves for a tighter contest this night.
Cardiff hosts the Path A playoff semi-final against Bosnia and Wales have actually had contrasting fortunes in qualifying playoffs just recently.
They edged past Austria 2-1 and Ukraine 1-0 to reach the 2022 World Cup and thumped Finland 4-1 in the Euro 2024 qualifying playoff semi-final.
But Wales lost on charges after a goalless 120 minutes in the last against Poland and a positive technique will be vital if they are to see off Bosnia.
Craig Bellamy took over a group who had actually just drawn 0-0 with Gibraltar and lost 4-0 to Slovakia in a number of disappointing friendly screens in June 2024.
Bellamy's commitment to high-intensity, assaulting football was rewarded with a nine-game unbeaten run at the start of his reign.
Wales were beat in a 3-0 friendly loss to England in October however their only competitive defeats under Bellamy were 4-3 and 4-2 reverses versus Group J winners Belgium.
Backing Wales to win a game including over 2.5 goals looks a great bet as Brennan Johnson, David Brooks and the respected Harry Wilson bring Premier League quality to their forward line.
Bosnia are still heavily dependent on the 40-year-old Edin Dzeko, now playing for Schalke in the German second division, and Wales should make home advantage count.
Bosnia needed a 66th-minute Dzeko objective to seal a 1-0 home win over in June 2025 and blew a 2-0 lead in October's 2-2 attract Cyprus.
They clinched second place behind Group H winners Austria with a 3-1 home win over Romania but ball game was level at 1-1 before Denis Dragus was sent for the visitors in the 67th minute.
Bosnia's 2024-25 Nations League results consisted of heavy away beats versus the Netherlands (5-2) and Germany (7-0) and they may struggle to deny Wales a home playoff final against Italy or Northern Ireland.
Katic might be captured out by Wales forwards
Bosnian centre-back Nikola Katic, a colleague of Dzeko at Schalke, has gotten five yellow cards in this season's 2. Bundesliga and looks a huge price to be reserved in Cardiff.
Katic deals with a difficult test against pacy Crystal Palace forward Johnson and he was warned in two of his last three qualifiers, versus Austria and Romania.
Back Rodon to increase to the occasion in Cardiff
The 6ft 4in Katic had three efforts at goal against Austria and scored in October's draw in Cyprus but Wales have their own aerial threat in the shape of Leeds defender Joe Rodon.
He has scored twice in this term's Premier League and matched that tally during Wales's Group J campaign, discovering the internet in home fixtures against Liechtenstein and Belgium.
