Demirović does the running that lets Džeko stay central. Sergej Barbarez’s preferred shape pairs them in a flexible 4-4-2, with Demirović roaming wide and Džeko fixing centre-backs; the system worked through qualifying and is the most likely opening setup vs Canada. He is also Bosnia’s most reliable presser, which matters against teams that build from goal kicks.
Strengths
- Mobility across the front line
