Top-two route
Bosnia and Herzegovina's top-two route needs at least one upset against the stronger side of Group B. Beating or drawing with Canada, Qatar, Switzerland changes the bracket outlook more than goal difference alone.
Third-place route
Bosnia and Herzegovina can also survive Group B from third place, but that path is not automatic. Their points, goal difference and goals scored would be compared with the other eleven third-place teams, and only eight of twelve advance.
