I quite like BTTS at odds on here, but personally I would go for overs at long odds. I watched last night's 2nd leg, Hungary v Norway, where 'unders' were favourites and over 2.5 goals were priced at 2.5, very similar to this game. Hungary lead 1-0 for most of the game, and two goals in the last 10 minutes meant it ended 2-1 as the game really opened up. If Bosnia take the lead, that would open up the game as they have the edge in forward skill and ability to get an another on the break.

Over 2.5

I like to Bosnia's odds on qualify as well, as I just think Ireland are a bit too short here.

Ireland 2 Bosnia 0

Ireland win 3-1 on aggregate.

Impressive showing by Ireland who I thought deserved the win despite being fortunate with their penalty. I thought Bosnia were disappointing, they didn't look as though they believed enough.

[StevieDay1983]

I agree, I am very surprised Bosnia didn't threaten more given what they had to do. Perhaps that's more credit to Ireland and Martin O'Neill's tactics in stifling the Bosnian midfield for the whole game. Bosnia did hit the crossbar late on mind so could have been a winning tip! Haha.
