Combo Double chance : Bosnia & Herzegovina or draw and +1.5 goals

Bosnia & Herzegovina and Qatar are both struggling to find form coming into this World Cup match. Bosnia lost their last game 4-1 and drew the one before that, so they haven't won recently. Qatar's situation is even worse - they've lost three of their last five games, including a heavy 6-0 defeat, with only two draws to show for their efforts. Neither side has been in good shape lately.

This looks like it could be a close match between two teams that are not playing well. Since both are having trouble winning and there's no history of recent meetings between them to go by, it's hard to pick a clear favorite. Given how both teams have been struggling, this game seems likely to end in a draw, as neither looks strong enough to dominate the other.
