Bosnia-Herzegovina came close to upsetting Portugal last weekend, as they hit the woodwork on three occasions. However, the Bosnians eventually had to settle for a 1-0 loss after a goal from Bruno Alves.

Despite the loss in Portugal, Bosnia coach Miroslav Blazevic is still confident that his men have what it takes to turn things around and qualify for South Africa.

"It's hard to predict anything in football but we will go through in Zenica," Blazevic told the Bosnian media.

"We can't go through if we play like we did in the first leg, but the return match will be a completely different game of football and we will apply a new strategy to surprise Portugal.

"We deserved more from the match in Lisbon, I've never seen luck turn its back on a team like it did on us but we can turn this round nonetheless," he concluded.
