World Cup Playoffs 2026: Wales-Bosnia, likely lineups

Wales and Bosnia take the field at 8:45 p.m. in Cardiff in the semifinal playoff match for the 2026 World Cup: whoever wins will face one of Italy or Northern Ireland to clinch a place in the rainbow tournament starting next June.

The Britons, unbeaten in their last six matches, are banking on the home factor. They will be missing two important players with Ben Davies and Tom Lawrence, in attack there will be Harris supported by the trio of trequartists consisting of Johnson, Brooks, James.

Bosnia will once again rely on veteran Dzeko in attack, but will have to give up players such as Hadzikadunic and Hajradinovic. On the three-quarter will be Bajraktarevic, Memic, Alajbegovic. In the middle there will be the pairing Tahirovic, Sunjic.

Wales-Bosnia, the probable lineups
GALLES (4-2-3-1): Darlow; N. Williams, Rodon, Mepham, Dasilva; Ampadu, James; Johnson, Brooks, D. James; Harris.
BOSNIA-ERZEGOVINA (4-2-3-1): Vasilj; Dedic, Muharemovic, Katic, Mujakic; Tahirovic, Sunjic; Bajraktarevic, Memic, Alajbegovic; Džeko.
