Bosnia and Herzegovina have made a flying start to World Cup qualifying and should make it three wins from three when they host Group H minnows San Marino.
This is one of the most intriguing sections in the European qualifiers, with little between Austria, Romania and the Bosnians as they battle for top spot and automatic qualification.
Bosnia and Hezegovina struck an early blow by winning 1-0 in Romania, busting the coupon of our man Greg with a rare victory on the road. They followed it by beating Cyprus 2-1 in Zenica and now host a San Marino side who have lost their first two games.
San Marino are the perennial whipping boys in European qualifying and they were battered 5-1 by Romania at home in their last qualifier. So it would be a surprise if they avoided another heavy defeat in Bosnia.
The minnows did claim a couple of morale-boosting wins over Liechtenstein in the Nations League but this is a major step up in class against an in-form Bosnian side.
How the bookies view it: Minnows to be mauled
It's no surprise to see the Bosnians as hot favourites for this one and BoyleSports price them at just 1/80. San Marino are 25/1 rank outsiders and the draw is pretty hefty at 7/1.
Head to head: Bosnians out to complete the hat-trick
These nations have faced off just twice before and Bosnia and Herzegovina won both those matches in 2006 World Cup qualifying. But San Marino managed to keep the score respectable, losing 3-1 at home then 3-0 away.
Players to watch: Demirovic on fire
Stuttgart forward Ermedin Demirovic scored in Bosnia's last qualifier at home to Cyprus and heads into this game on 20 goals for the season. He's just 17/40 for anytime scorer at Betway but backing him for two or more goals pays 13/10 at Bet365.
Nicola Nanni looks like the best bet for a shock San Marino as he takes their penalties. He scored twice in the Nations League campaign and is 25/1 at Paddy Power to grab a goal in Bosnia.
Probable line-ups
Bosnia boss Sergej Barbarez left skipper Edin Dzeko on the bench for their last qualifier but the 39-year-old could be unleashed in tandem with Demirovic against the minnows. Atalanta defender Sead Kolasinac misses out with a knee injury.
San Marino should be along similar lines to their last two World Cup qualifiers.
Bosnia and Herzegovina: Vasilj, Bicakcic, Dedic, Barisic, Radeljic, Hajradinovic, Tahirovic, Gigovic, Sunjic, Demirovic, Dzeko.
San Marino: Colombo, G Benvenuti, T Benvenuti, Cevoli, Tosi, Capicchioni, Contadini, Golinucci, Zannoni, Nanni , Berardi.
Anything else catch the eye?
Bosnia and Herzegovina haven't been a high-scoring team in recent years and you have to go back to 2023 for the last time they scored more than twice in a game. They've also netted just six times across their two meetings with San Marino so I fancy Bosnia to win either 3-0 (6/1, Unibet) or 4-0 (21/4, Unibet).
Corners have also been in short supply, with Bosnia winning just 20 in total across their last eight games in all competitions. That tally should go up against a San Marino side set up to frustrate but under 11 match corners also looks good at 11/8 with Bet365.
