The chase for the 2016 European Cup will take its next step on Tuesday. Two teams attempting to qualify for the tournament will do battle in a match between Bosnia-Herzegovina and Cyprus. The contest scheduled for 2:45 p.m. ET will be held at Bilino Polje Stadium in Zenica and can be live streamed here free (using the seven-day free trial pass). Additional TV coverage can be found on Fox Sports Plus.
Bosnia-Herzegovina's Safet Susic had this to offer ahead of today's European qualifier (via BH Dragons): "Everyone is ready and the preparations are going off without a hitch. The players are anxiously waiting for the match against Cyprus, eager to start. I believe we have two more training sessions, as we will probably train a little bit on the day of the game as well."
"The coaching staff and I will watch some of the last Cyprus matches," he added. "But I don't want the players watching. It has happened in the past that they get the impression that the opponent is really stronger than they are. We will probably have a lot of chances, but we cannot leave ourselves open to counter-attacks."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Expected to finish Bosnia-Herzegovina's chances is Edin Dzeko. The 28-year-old striker is yet to open his season account with Manchester City, but finished his 2013 campaign with 16 goals in 23 starts.
Bosnia-Herzegovina's Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Begovic; Mujdza, Vranjes, Sunjic, Salihovic; Besic, Prcic, Medunjanin, Pjanic; Ibisevic, Dzeko
Cyprus' Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Georgallides, Charalambous, Mertakkas, Sielis, Angeli, Charalambidis, Efrem, Artymatas, Aresti, Alexandrou, Makris
