Bosnia-Herzegovina vs Italy: Confirmed line-ups for World Cup play-off final
Catch up with all the team news ahead of Bosnia and Herzegovina vs Italy
Bosnia-Herzegovina and Italy face-off for a place at the World Cup this summer in Tuesday night’s play-off final.
The Azzuri came through relatively unscathed against Northern Ireland in their semi-final clash last week, while Bosnia-Herzegovina knocked out their neighbours, the Republic of Ireland.
Gennaro Gattuso is looking to avoid making some unwanted history tonight, with the Italians on the verge of failing to qualify for the tournament three times in a row.
And it would be wise not to underestimate their opponents, who were expected to be beaten in Cardiff last time out.
