Bellamy, who played for Newcastle, Liverpool and Manchester City throughout his career will manage the side who have the home advantage in Cardiff. 

Speaking ahead of the clash, Ramsey has admitted that he is filled with confidence after seeing Bellamy’s hard work with the side that is packed full of talent. 

"I think he's been absolutely brilliant. I can't speak highly enough of him. I think what he's done with Wales so far has been absolutely brilliant. He's transformed the team. 

"I think the amount of detail that goes into everything with him is exceptional, really. 

"I think the players have fed off that and produced some really, really strong performances so far. 

"Two tough games to look forward to, but we're at home, we're playing well, so we've got it all to play for. 

"I'm quietly confident we can progress and be at that World Cup." 

Wales enter the clash fter thrashing North Macedonia by a 7-1 scoreline in their final group qualifier in November last year and will be confident as they sit over 30 places above their opponents in the FIFA rankings. 

Wales has never beaten Bosnia and Herzegovina in four previous meetings but with the home crowd behind them, they could make history on Thursday night.
