World Cup 2014: Scenarios For All 9 UEFA Qualifying Groups
Group G: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Greece, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, and Slovakia
Bosnia and Herzegovina have their eyes set for Brazil and their performance has reflected this ambition. In all matches but one, they have scored a minimum of three goals including a victory over Second place Greece. The Lillies (as they are known) are led by Manchester City star Edin Džeko (seven goals in WC Qualifying) and look to qualify for their first ever major tournament.

In fact, all but one of Latvia's goals outside of matches with Liechtenstein came from penalty kicks. The two sides should keep up their mediocrity for the remaining fixtures. Lithuania's only points outside of Liechtenstein came via draws against Slovakia. The two of them should end up on level pegging when all is said and done. Assuming Greece handles their remaining games (Final three at home), they should qualify comfortably in second place. This is a rather ho-hum group at this stage unless the Bosnians and Greeks suffer a major upset or two. If Greece can handle Slovakia on October 11th, then the final table will look similar to its current version.
