The stakes have never been higher for the eleven Bosnian players who take to the field on Wednesday night. Their nation was only formed in 1993 and have never qualified for a major tournament, although they have a golden opportunity to change that statistic. Paddy Power offer 4/1 that they qualify for the World Cup finals, something that manager Miroslav Blazevic claims will happen in Zenica.

It could have been so much better for Bosnia and Herzegovina in Lisbon, with Edin Dzeko coming within a whisker of scoring a precious away goal in the final minute. Instead, the striker hit the post, although the Wolfsburg forward is 7/1 (Ladbrokes) to break the deadlock in the return leg and bring the tie level. William Hill offer 7/1 that the home side win by a 1-0 scoreline, something that would take the game into extra-time. However, if they concede a goal, they must score three in normal time to win the contest.

Portugal will therefore not sit back and defend, knowing that shipping three goals in Zenica is unlikely. Despite not having Cristiano Ronaldo available, Carlos Queiroz's team are the 6/4 favourites (Blue Square) to win the second leg, although they only just pipped Sweden to second place in Group 1 and Denmark's top spot was rarely in doubt. Chelsea midfielder Deco continues to be more influential for his country than club and is probably a shade too big to open the scoring (14/1 Blue Square) on Wednesday night.
