Bosnia are eliminated while Iran look towards progressing further. The Bosnian Dragons sit on 0 points with 2 losses, while Iran have 1 point thanks to their 0-0 draw with Nigeria. A win and Nigeria loss against Argentina would do it for Iran.
Bosnian coach Safet Susic is set for his last match in charge after a disappointing World Cup campaign's fate was set in stone with last Saturday's 1-0 loss to Nigeria. The match was embedded in controversy with New Zealand referee O'Leary and his assistant flagging for offside after Dzeko had scored for 1-0. However, replay clearly showed that the City striker was not offside.
Meanwhile, Iran led by Carlos Queiroz were harshly done against Argentina when Lionel Messi scored in the 92nd minute to secure Argentina a place in the Round of 16. Messi's late stunner was the only goal Iran conceded this World Cup and it's only the second goal Quieroz has seen his side concede in his last six World Cup matches.
Bosnia look to utilize the 4-4-2 for the first time this tournament. Dzeko and Ibisevic scored 18 times during the qualifiers, more than half of Bosnia's total of 30. Susic's departure has opened the door for Bosnian legend Sergej Barbarez to return, while Mehmed Bazdarevic and Dusan Bajevic remain favorites as well.
Carlos Queiroz's Iran will stick to their usual formation and defensive tactics in hopes of qualifying.
