Bosnia-Herzegovina
Bosnia-Herzegovina are the 49th in the world. They are the fourth in the Group in the League with a record of 4W-1D-5L. 3 of the victories are from host game, which shows their great competitiveness in host game.
Northern Ireland
Northern Ireland are the 36th in the world. They are the third in Group C, behind Germany and Netherlands with a record of 4W-1D-3L. But they are not good at away game. They concede 10 goals in total in recent 3 away games.
Verdict:
Bosnia-Herzegovina have won over Northern Ireland for twice with 2 scoring goals in every game. And they have a winning streak. The Asian handicap first odd is Bosnia-Herzegovina rovers -0.5. Bosnia-Herzegovina are believed to win.

North Macedonia vs Kosovo Preview:
Possible starting lineups:
North Macedonia:
Dimitrievski; Ristovski, Musliu, Velkovski, Alioski; Ademi, Spirovski; Trajkovski, Bardhi, Hasani; Pandev
Kosovo:
Muric; Vojvoda, Aliti, Dresevic, Paqarada; Berisha, Shala, Rashkaj; Celina, Nuhiu, Zeneli
North Macedonia will host Kosovo in Skopje in a vital Euro 2021 play-off, with both teams looking to secure a spot in the final. The winners will then face either Georgia or Belarus there. The match will be played at National Arena "Tose Proeski" in Skopje, but without fans. The Macedonians will try to take advantage from the fact they are nominal hosts. The Reds are in solid form and they obtained one win and one draw on the last two competitive matches played in September. North Macedonia managed to beat Armenia with 2:1 in the Nations League fixture played in Skopje. Both goals came from penalty shots converted by Alioski and Nestorovski. Three days later North Macedonia played an 1:1 draw in Georgia. The Reds were one goal down after 13 minutes, but Stefan Ristovski equalized 20 minutes later. The atmosphere in the national team is very good, while the players confidence is high. Coach Igor Angelovski has one problem ahead of this match - Napoli midfielder Elif Elmas was tested positive on coronavirus and didn't arrive in Skopje. Goalkeeper Martin Bogatinov is also infected, but that's not a problem as he wasn't supposed to play.
Kosovo were excellent during the last season's UEFA Nations League. However, the recent results weren't at desired level. They failed to win any of their fixtures played in September. Kosovo first played an 1:1 draw with Moldova. They were one goal down until the 71st minute when Benjamin Kololli equalized the result. In the second match they lost 2:1 to Greece. Bernard Berisha scored the goal on that game. Kosovo face another strong opponent in Slovenia the upcoming weekend. The poor form is definitely a big problem for the coach Bernard Challandes, but not the only one. Three important players are unavailable for the match in Skopje. Captain Amir Rrahmani, who play together with Elmas in Napoli, is also positive on coronavirus. Lazio striker Vedat Muriqi will miss the match as he is currently recovering from an injury. The former Fenerbahce striker has missed one game for his new club due to the injury, combined with a positive test for Covid-19. He played 23 games for Kosovo and it will be hard to find adequate replacement. Milot Rashica, who played in Bundesliga for Werder Bremen is recovering from a knee injury and won't play here. It is clear the guests are very handicapped.
North Macedonia vs Kosovo Prediction:
Both teams will not risk too much here. Kosovo will be missing three important players, including the best striker Muriqi. Macedonia are closer to the victory, but I will also suggest Under 2.5 goals. I am sure there will be lot of nervous, lot of fouls and yellow cards, but not many goals.
North Macedonia vs Kosovo Pick: Under 2.5 goals @ 1.62 with Pinnacle

Most like you can't miss with Bosnia, so it's more or less a sure bet, at least for me. With the others, I may have doubts for simple 1x2.
