Former Bosnia midfielder Sergej Jakirovic says Wales away was not the draw he wanted in the World Cup qualifying play-offs.

The sides meet in a one-off game in March; the victors host Italy or Northern Ireland for the right to play at the World Cup.

Wales have never beaten Bosnia and Herzegovina in four attempts, but Jakirovic – who has dual nationality with Croatia – has them "55-45" favourites.

"Wales’ style doesn't suit Bosnia and Herzegovina," said Hull City’s coach. "I think they didn't want Wales but Bosnia Herzegovina has good players at a high level.

"I have it 55-45 (to Wales) because they're at home. In Zenica, it would be different. They (Bosnia) will call for sure for information. But everything is possible."

Craig Bellamy's squad includes Leeds United’s Ethan Ampadu, Joe Rodon, Karl Darlow and Hull-born Daniel James, as well as Sheffield United's Adam Davies and Rhys Norrington-Davies.

Hull’s Amir Hadziahmetovic is in Bosnia’s squad, as is 39-year-old striker Edin Dzeko.

Jakirovic told Wales to look out for: "Duels, long balls, set pieces."
