Bosnia and Herzegovina vs Finland Prediction
Over the years, the two Bosnian players who have gone on to enjoy elite level careers are Miralem Pjanic and Edin Dzeko. While Pjanic's club success has slowed down since joining Barcelona, Dzeko has enjoyed an excellent season with Inter Milan. Both players are in their 30s though, and younger stars will soon have to take their place.
