If Bosnia Herzegovina can take any points from this game they will draw ahead of Norway on the points table and take second place. That will give them a promotion playoff against ENC 2C side Austria.
Finland needs the win to move off the bottom of the table and put Greece down to the third division for the 2014-16 ENC tournament. Two bonus points in a loss would also place them ahead of Greece as Finland has a better points aggregate against the Greeks.
It’s all very mathematical but for both teams a lot hinges on this game. Finland lost by 5 points to Bosnia Herzegovina away in the first round. With so much to gain and the home advantage Finland could well upset the visitors.
The Bosnians demolished Norway in their latest outing at home so could well be too strong for the Finns.
Prediction: Bosnia Herzegovina by 2 points.
