Our prediction for this World Cup 2026 match:
San Marino
Match Time & Date:
6 September 2025
19:45
Prediction: 0-3
Bosnia Herzegovina
San Marino will try to claim a major scalp when they take on Bosnia & Herzegovina in the World Cup qualifier on Saturday evening. The minnows are desperate to put an end to their four-game losing run in the qualifiers for the showpiece tournament, but they face an uphill task against the Group H leaders. Even though defender Andrea Contadini has overcome his injury, we are not tempted to put our money on the underdogs.
The Dragons, on the other hand, aim to keep their 100% record in the 2026 WC qualifiers intact. As a win over San Marino will see Edin Dzeko and Co. move one step closer to secure their spot at the World Cup finals, we are tempted to bet on Sergej Barbarez’s men. Speaking of the away team, both Ifet Djakovic and Arjan Malis have been ruled out with injury, with Esmir Bajraktarevic and Jusuf Gazibegovic stepping up.
Highlighted Player (Rade Krunic):
Rade Krunic is a product of Sutjeska Foca youth football school. The Bosnia international was born in Foca on October 7, 1993 and 19 years later he made his senior debut with his hometown club Sutjeska.
After scoring three goals in 15 appearances for the Bosnian club, the Bosnian midfielder moved to Serbian side Donji Srem in 2013. In 2014 he signed a contract with Italian side Hellas Verona, but he was immediately loaned back to Donji Srem. In 2015 Rade Krunic made 13 appearances for Serbian side Borac Cacak before joining yet another Italian team Empoli.
He has been playing for the Azzurri ever since and it has to be noted that he scored his first goal for the Serie A side in a 2-0 win over Genoa in October, 2015. Speaking of his international career, Krunic made his Bosnia and Herzegovina debut in a friendly against Denmark on June 3, 2016. He has 8 caps for Bosnia and Herzegovina U21 team as well.
Highlighted Team (San Marino):
San Marino played their first official match back in 1990, with the team suffering a 4-0 loss to Switzerland in the European Championship qualifiers. The minnows often serve as a cannon fodder for their rivals in competitive games, but it has to be noted that they did well to hold Estonia to a goalless draw in the Euro 2016 qualifiers.
San Marino have yet to record a win in the qualifiers for the major tournaments, but on April 28, 2004 they recorded a hard-fought victory over Liechtenstein in a friendly match and that is considered their biggest achievement. “La Serenissima” welcome their rivals at San Marino Stadium and the capacity of the venue is only 6.664.
San Marino footballers wear blue shirts and blue shorts when playing at home, whilst the colour of their away kits is white. It is well known that San Marino have never participated at the finals of the FIFA World Cup or the European Championship.
