World Cup play-offs: Home draw ‘key for Wales’ – reaction to draw


“So it’s Bosnia-Herzegovina, a team we’ve played four times and have never beaten in those four games,” said ex-striker Iwan Roberts.

“We haven’t scored in three of the four. The one game that stands out in my mind was 10 October, 2015, in Bosnia when we lost 2-0.

“But it was a great night because we qualified for Euro 2016.

“Defensively, they were solid. They only conceded seven [goals] in their eight games, and they didn’t lose away from home – winning eight points from their four games.

“So it will be a tough challenge for us, but we are the favourites.

“And if we beat Bosnia, we now know that we will face either Italy or Northern Ireland in the final, in the same stadium, that’s a massive bonus for us.

“Possibly two home games in the play-offs, semi-final and in the final, we could not have asked for more.”
