Senad Lulić, Edin Džeko and Mehmed Baždarević will have fond memories of Bosnia and Herzegovina's last Group B tussle with Andorra as the sides prepare to meet again. • Jordi Rubio is suspended after accumulating three bookings. The following players are a yellow card away from a ban: Džeko (Bosnia and Herzegovina), Josep Ayala, Ivan Lorenzo, Cristian Martínez, Moisés San Nicolás and Marcio Vieira (Andorra). Previous meetings • Lulić laid on all three goals as a Džeko hat-trick brought a 3-0 win for Bosnia and Herzegovina in the teams' first Group A encounter; it was Baždarević's first game in charge as well as the first senior fixture between these nations. • The sole previous UEFA competition meeting between national sides from these countries was a UEFA Futsal EURO 2000 qualifier, which Bosnia and Herzegovina won 2-1 in Portugal. Form guide • The Bosnians' 3-1 success over Israel in June was their first Group B home victory (W1 D1 L1). • Andorra's 3-1 reverse to Cyprus in June was their 50th successive competitive loss. • Andorra have yet to avoid defeat in 47 UEFA European Championship games. They have not scored in their last 12 competitive away games. Trivia and links • This is Bosnia and Herzegovina's 50th UEFA European Championship match. • Andorra midfielder Victor Rodríguez turns 28 the day after the Bosnia and Herzegovina game.

:: Team facts

EURO finals: The UEFA European Championship was a four-team event in 1960, 1964, 1968, 1972 and 1976 (when the preliminary round and quarter-finals were considered part of qualifying).

From 1980 it was expanded to an eight-team finals and remained in that format in 1984, 1988 and 1992 until 1996, when the 16-team format was adopted. UEFA EURO 2016 was the first tournament to be played as a 24-team finals.

Records of inactive countries A number of UEFA associations have been affected by dissolution or splits of member associations. For statistical purposes, the records of these inactive countries have been allocated elsewhere: therefore, all Soviet Union matches are awarded to Russia; all West Germany – but not East Germany – matches are awarded to Germany; all Yugoslavia and Serbia & Montenegro matches are awarded to Serbia; all Czechoslovakia matches are allocated to both the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

Abandoned/forfeited matches For statisical purposes, when a match has been started and then abandoned but later forfeited, the result on the pitch at the time of abandonment is counted. Matches that never started and were either cancelled or forfeited are not included in the overall statistics.
