1. Working the Channels
If Bosnia and Herzegovina have a weakness, it's defence, and they won't settle as quickly into a flat back four when defending against Nigeria as they did against Argentina.
Sead Kolasinac will likely bomb forward, and Mensur Mujdza will be encouraged to reciprocate from the other flank. In fact, if Bosnia go winger-less to squeeze in two strikers, they'll be required to come up and hold the width in attack.
That's a dream scenario for Nigeria, who have Victor Moses, Emmanuel Emenike and Ahmed Musa to work the channels. There was no room against Iran, but here there's space to roam.
2. Matched Up
Dzeko and Ibisevic is a central defensive duo's nightmare, with the two combining nous, intelligence, power and immense heading ability in the box to score a bucketload of goals.
Kenneth Omeruo is an up-and-coming defender, while Joseph Yobo is firmly at the other end of the scale. There's a reasonable chance one is too young and the other too young to deal with this dynamic duo.
The Super Eagles weren't tested defensively by Iran, but MiralemPjanic's through balls are sure to give them a headache.
