Edin Džeko remains the heartbeat of this Bosnia and Herzegovina side. The veteran captain continues to lead by example and scored 7.0 for his Creativity Influence in their last match. Even at 40 years old, he remains the focal point of their attack and is his nation's all-time leading goalscorer.

Ermedin Demirović is another player capable of making the difference. The striker's movement and work rate have caused problems throughout the tournament with the Stuttgart man scoring 5.8 for his Creativity Influence against Switzerland.

For Qatar, Akram Afif remains their most dangerous weapon. The forward has consistently been involved in Qatar's best attacking moments and scored 7.4 for Creativity Influence in their draw with Switzerland.

Edmílson Junior is another man who could have a key role to play in this clash. With Creativity Influence scores of 5.2 and 5.7 in the two matches so far, his wizardry on the ball will be vital.
