They're at home but Bosnia are 6/1 underdogs having gone to penalties in Cardiff and now facing an Italy side desperate to avoid three straight World Cup play-off defeats. The Azzurri are 8/15 favourites but this could be another tough one after it took them an hour to break down Northern Ireland, and the way Bosnia will approach this is in a similar defend and frustrate style - looking to counter and lean on set pieces.
While there's a chance of a smash-and-grab by the hosts, as long as they can handle the pressure Italy's extra class should tell eventually as the fatigue factor should hit Bosnia. They'll have a home crowd and the adrenaline to start with though, while Italy will be wary of trying to just see out an early onslaught, so I can see this one being level at the break and bursting into life in the second half.

Czech Republic are also home underdogs at 3/1 as at 2-0 down in the week Ireland let them off the hook as they eventually won on penalties - but it meant they're now unbeaten in 10 at home with just one loss in 19. And while Denmark are 1/1 favourites after smashing North Macedonia 4-0, they've won just two of 10 on the road.
You have to respect the home team's record but the quality of opposition has largely been way below what Denmark will offer - that goalfest in midweek will do them good and they had a man sent off before that late heartbreaker in Scotland. I'll back the visitors but not with too many goals as despite the last two games the previous six at home saw Czech Republic games go under 3.5 goals.

Contrasting wins from these two - Kosovo winning 4-3 in Slovakia and Turkey grinding out a 1-0 victory at home to Romania. It's 29/10 on the hosts and 20/23 on the visitors - with Turkey decent travellers recently with just one defeat in six away internationals while Kosovo are unbeaten in eight on home soil.
Funnily enough Kosovo only scored six goals in six games in their group with five games going under 2.5 and five seeing only one team score before that unexpected shootout in Slovakia, while Turkey's games were full of goals. The way Kosovo played in midweek suggests they'll be a goal threat but if they defend the same then Turkey should be too strong.
Click here for Sweden v Poland odds19:45 kick-offLive on Amazon Prime PPV
Sweden are 1/1 favourites here to win the match and qualify for the World Cup despite a truly awful campaign, and can gain revenge on Poland who beat them in the play-offs for Qatar four years ago. The Poles are 29/10 after coming from behind to beat Albania in the week.
Viktor Gyokeres has been a bit of a flat-track bully for me, but he did get a hat-trick against Ukraine who are ranked one place above Poland so a home tie against them should suit him down to the ground. So since I fancy Sweden to book a crazy World Cup spot I'll take seemingly Arsenal's only player still on international duty to help them to the USA.
We've still got the Bet £10 on Football Accas or Bet Builders and get a £10 Free Bet off going on the Betfair Sportsbook and a treble on three of our picks looks like a decent way to take advantage.
Both Sweden and Denmark are 1/1 to win their games against Poland and Czech Republic respectively, while Italy are odds-on in Bosnia and the best fancied of the bunch - but all three togther makes for a nice little pay out.
Click here for England v Japan odds19:45 kick-offLive on ITVX, STV & ITV 1
It's England's last game at Wembley before the World Cup and with changes set to be made after Friday's unremarkable draw with Uruguay they're 4/7 to make it a winning send-off. Japan are 9/2 to secure a first ever win over the Three Lions.
With Harry Kane, Anthony Gordon and Morgan Rogers returning, plus Enzri Konsa and Marc Guehi at the back this should be a much better display from Thomas Tuchel's side - but Japan have Karou Mitoma and Daichi Kamada to come into the starting line-up after coming off the bench in the win over Scotland.
So this should be a really competitive game but England rattled off six straight wins to nil before Friday, when even a decent Uruguay side needed a late penalty, so the hosts should be able to grind out a hard-fought victory again.
