Bosnia coach Safet Susic has predicted it will be a big fight between his team and Nigeria for automatic qualification to the next round of the World Cup.

Bosnia are making their world Cup debut in Brazil and Susic has conceded top place to Argentina in Group F, while he believes his team will battle African champions Nigeria for second place.

“There’s one huge side (Argentina) who will undoubtedly finish first, Nigeria who always get to the World Cup and Iran who are completely unknown to us but finished top in qualifying so are definitely a good team. What’s certain is that we’ll be playing for qualification in the second match against Nigeria,” Susic told FIFA.com

He said his immediate target is for his team to at least reach the knockout stage of the tournament.

Susic admitted his team love to attack, but they lack sttength in depth and could struggle if one or two players are missing.

We’ve been playing really well against smaller teams but so far haven’t beaten a big side like France, Portugal or Brazil,” he said.

“I think that to be a great team, you need to be able to field two sides. We have 10 or so very good players, but the players on the bench aren’t at the same level. When we’re at full strength we can give anyone a run for their money, but that changes if we’re missing one or two players.”

tell them o. We're not dragging second position. We know that the Bosnians don't beleive in themselves, we do, we will win the Argies. Keshi hasn't spoken on this WC, he hasn't said whether we'll drag second with anybody or top. All he knows is we must survive the group stage. The sooner the Bosnian coach realises it's silly to talk too much, the better for him
