The visitors, who are fourth in the group on six points, will enter the contest off the back of a 2-1 victory over Liechtenstein, while fifth-placed Iceland suffered a 3-1 defeat to Luxembourg last time out.

Iceland have picked up just three points from their five matches in Group J, which has left them in fifth place, seven points behind second-placed Slovakia.

Age Hareide’s side beat Liechtenstein 7-0 at the end of March but have been defeated in their last three matches, including a 3-1 reverse away to Luxemborug on Friday.

Our Boys now have three straight home matches against Bosnia-Herzegovina, Luxembourg and Liechtenstein, and they will need to win all three to put themselves in a position to potentially sneak into the top two in the closing stages of the qualification campaign.

Meanwhile, Bosnia-Herzegovina are four points behind second-placed Slovakia on the same number of matches, demonstrating the importance of picking up a positive result in this game.

Meho Kodro’s side have never qualified for the finals of a European Championship, but they were present at the 2014 World Cup, being eliminated in the group stage of the competition.

Iceland will be without the services of central defender Horour Magnusson, who was sent off in the team’s 3-1 defeat to Luxembourg on Friday.

Alfons Sampsted could therefore come into the starting side, while there will again be a place in midfield for Burnley’s Johann Berg Gudmundsson.

Bosnia-Herzegovina Team News

Bosnia-Herzegovina have not reported any fresh injury concerns from their victory over Liechtenstein, so it would not be a surprise to see the same XI take to the field on Monday.

Nemanja Bilbija is likely to retain his place in the final third of the field, while there will be familiar faces in the shape of Miralem Pjanic, Rade Krunic and Sead Kolasinac in the starting side.
