The first leg ended in a 1-1 draw and the two sides will now contest in the decider to be held in Dublin. The goal scorer in that match Robbie Brady has urged his side to put forth a better performance which can allow them to confirm a place in the competition.
The Norwich winger opened up the scoring in the first leg, but Ireland were denied an away victory courtesy of a late equaliser from Roma star Edin Dzeko. A win for either side will allow them to advance through to the tournament. A goalless draw on the other hand will prove to be fruitful for the hosts on Monday, if the match finishes 1-1 the tie will be decided through penalties. Whereas a draw with a higher score will allow Bosnia to go through.
Brady is satisfied with the result in the first leg but is aiming for a better performance in front of the home fans.
"It is a good result away from home," Brady said. "We will take it back for Monday and put in a better performance and push ourselves through.
"It is not a bad result, but we could have prevented the goal and held out the last 10 minutes. We will give it our all. We know they have got a few players that can hurt us, so we need to keep a few players quiet on Monday and up our own game."
"We need to play a bit better but this is a decent squad and we have enough to get through. One leg is down and now we go again."
Southampton striker Shane Long is still doubtful for the match with manager Martin O'Neill claiming that he will put faith in veteran striker Robbie Keane should Long fail to prove fitness.
"It is a possibility," said the manager. "I wouldn't rule anybody out at all, absolutely not.
"Robbie Keane is our leading goalscorer and there is a reason why he is. But I can't turn the clock back. A 27-year-old Robbie Keane would be in the side, home or away."
Ireland will also welcome back John O'Shea and Jon Walters to the side who return from suspension.
Bosnia manager Mehmed Bazdarevic was less than impressed with his side's performance in the first leg but is hopeful his side can step up for the second leg.
"All is not lost," he said. "We didn't put on the kind of performance we aimed to and Dzeko's goal hauled us back into it.
"That gives us a better chance for rematch. We have the strength and quality, but we have to show much more of it to get a ticket to France."
