Bosnia and Herzegovina team analysis
• 1-4-2-3-1 with fast transitions to 1-4-4-2 or 1-4-1-4-1 defending
• Occasional high pressing but normally withdrew into defensive block
• Counterattacks via direct ball to strikers or 1 v 1 on wings
• Set out to build from back; under pressure played long to strikers
• Good combination play in wide areas culminating in crosses
• Screening midfielders close to back four; full-backs sometimes forward
• Good off-ball movement; excellent team spirit and commitment
