The visitors are unbeaten in their last three games across all competitions, including friendlies. They met Romania last week and recorded a 3-1 home win. They conceded in the first half, but Edin Džeko, Esmir Bajraktarević, and Haris Tabaković added goals after the break to help complete their comeback.
