The chase for the 2016 European Cup will take its next step on Friday. Two teams attempting to qualify for the tournament will do battle in a match between Bosnia-Herzegovina and Israel. The contest scheduled for 2:45 p.m. ET will be held at the Stadion Bilino Polje in Zenica and can be live streamed here free.
What They're Saying
Bosnia-Herzegovina head coach Mehmed Bazdarevic (via UEFA): "There is no need to talk about the importance of this meeting with Israel. We all know that. We studied and analyzed Israel's game, and I believe we have strong tactics to use against them, just like they had against us in Haifa."
Bosnia-Herzegovina captain Edin Dzeko: "Tomorrow [Friday] is one of the key matches, both for us and the Israelis, who know they cannot lose. We have played a lot of these kinds of matches in front of our fans in Zenica, and surely, with their help, we can get a good result."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Dzeko failed to make a lasting impact for Manchester City this campaign. In 22 Premier League appearances, the 29-year-old finished with four goals and two assists. He'll look to return to form in Zenica on Friday.
Bosnia-Herzegovina's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Begovic - Mujdza, Bicakcic, Spahic, Kolasinac - Besic, Medunjanin - Hajrovic, Pjanic, Lulic - Dzeko
Israel's Projected Lineup (4-3-3): Martziano - Dgani, Ben Haim I, Tibi, Ben Harush - Yeini, Bitton, Natkho - Zehavi, Damari, Sahar
