Bosnia-Hercegovina

Despite being the only World Cup debutants, Bosnia are odds-on with most bookies to reach the last 16 thanks to their attacking firepower and technical ability. Their cavalier tactics in qualifying - a 4-4-2 diamond - yielded 30 goals, 18 from strike duo Edin Dzeko and Vedad Ibisevic.
While the squad is overflowing with playmakers, it lacks effective ball-winners to screen the defence.
Expect them to change formation against Argentina but go for the jugular against Nigeria and Iran.
