Bosnia has a chance to qualify with a win against Portugal. However, it will be no easy task for the side captained by Edin Dzeko. With qualification guaranteed, Roberto Martinez will most likely bring multiple changes to the squad. After his brace against Slovakia, Cristiano is set to start the game on the bench. Bernardo Silva, Rafael Leao, and Joao Palhinha are also likely to sit out the game vs Bosnia.

Talented youngster Joao Neves is likely to make his international debut for the following game. Moreover, Nelson Semedo and Goncalo Inacio are also set to return to the starting line-up. However, João Felix and Diogo Jota are frontrunners to partner up with Gonçalo Ramos up front.
