Bosnia-Herzegovina will be playing in their first-ever World Cup and they might just have enough to make it past the group stage. The team is the second choice in the betting to win Group F behind heavily favored Argentina. Let’s look at what might be a surprise team in Bosnia-Herzegovina and World Cup odds at BetPhoenix sportsbook.
High Scoring Bosnians
Bosnia-Herzegovina is going to be a fun squad to watch as they scored 30 goals in qualifying, fourth highest of any team in European qualifying. They have a great duo of Edin Dzeko and Vedad Ibisevic who combined to score 18 of those goals. The team also has playmaker Miralem Pjanic who is playing really well for Roma. The team needs to score a lot of goals because their defense is poor. The key for this team will be how well goalkeeper Asmir Begovic plays on the big stage.
Bosnia-Herzegovina is coached by Safet Susic who was voted the best player in Paris Saint-Germain’s history. He represented Yugoslavia at the World Cup in 1982 and 1990. "We know that we expose ourselves too much and that there is a huge risk in the way we play - but that is the price we are willing to pay.” he said, “In the end, we play to score more goals than the opposition, and it has paid off so far."
Bosnia-Herzegovina will be making their first World Cup appearance. They are the only team at the 2014 World Cup making their first appearance.

Odds to Win Group F
Argentina is the -450 favorite to win Group F while Bosnia-Herzegovina is the second choice with odds of 6-1. They are just ahead of Nigeria and well clear of Iran in the group odds. Not many people can see Argentina losing a game in Group F World Cup odds but if it happens the team most likely to beat them would be Bosnia-Herzegovina.
