"Wales are bidding to reach the World Cup finals for only the third time in their history and to qualify for a second consecutive tournament after appearing at the 2022 edition in Qatar, where their campaign ended at the group stage."
"Their route into the playoffs was sealed in emphatic fashion last November, when Wales demolished North Macedonia 7-1 in their final group fixture. Harry Wilson stole the headlines with a hat-trick as the Dragons recorded their biggest win in 47 years."
"Wales have failed to win any of their four previous meetings with the Balkan nation, drawing twice and losing twice, and they were held scoreless in three of those encounters."
Wales aims to qualify for the World Cup finals for the third time, having previously participated in 2022. Under Craig Bellamy, they finished second in Group J, just behind Belgium. Their playoff spot was secured with a significant 7-1 victory over North Macedonia. Wales has a strong home record, winning five of their last six competitive matches. However, they have never beaten Bosnia-Herzegovina in four previous encounters, which adds pressure to avoid complacency in the upcoming match.
