Cyprus will try to claim a major scalp in Group H when they face Bosnia & Herzegovina at AEK Arena (Larnaca) on Thursday evening. The Cypriotes are eight points behind top two, meaning that this has to go down as a must-win game for the home side. There are no fresh injury worries in Akis Mantzios’ team ahead of Bosnia’s visit. Meanwhile, the Balkan Dragons are enjoying a very successful World Cup qualifying campaign, with the team leading the standings after five rounds.
Austria, though, are still breathing down their neck, meaning that Thursday’s qualifier could be crucial for Edin Dzeko and Co. PSV rising star Esmir Barjaktarevic made the cut as well as Stuttgart striker Ermedin Demirovic and given the number of high-profile players in Sergej Barbarez’s team, there is a big value in betting on the Group H leaders. Earlier in the process, Bosnia defeated Cyprus 2-1.
This World Cup 2026 match will be played on Thursday 9 October 2025 at 19:45.
