United States vs Bosnia and Herzegovina Preview

The United States topped Group D with an impressive attacking record of eight goals scored and just three conceded, comfortably the best defensive return among the group winners. Gregg Berhalter's side rotated heavily in their final group fixture against Turkey, resting the likes of Antonee Robinson, Folarin Balogun, Chris Richards, and Tyler Adams to avoid suspension risks. Christian Pulisic sat out with a minor calf complaint but has declared himself fully fit for this knockout clash on home soil.

Bosnia and Herzegovina sealed their place in the Round of 32 with a spirited 3-1 victory over Qatar, finishing third in Group B. Sergej Barbarez's side have drawn three of their last five matches, suggesting a team that is competitive but occasionally struggles to find a decisive edge. The veteran Edin Džeko, now 40, remains central to their hopes, having provided an assist in that Qatar win in what could prove his final major tournament appearance.

The hosts carry genuine momentum into this knockout fixture. Their group-stage campaign yielded three wins from four outings, and the decision to rotate heavily against Turkey means key figures such as Christian Pulisic, Antonee Robinson, and Tyler Adams return fresh and free from suspension risk. A home win at 1.36 reflects that advantage, and the price looks fair given the Americans' superior squad depth and home support.

Bosnia and Herzegovina deserve respect for reaching the last 32 in only their second World Cup appearance, yet their form tells a cautionary tale. One win and three draws from their last five competitive outings points to a side that competes without consistently finishing teams off. Edin Džeko's experience and physical presence will test the American backline, but creating enough chances to overturn the quality gap seems a tall order.

With the USA's group-phase record showing goals at both ends, the over 2.5 goals market at 1.85 merits attention alongside the home win. Bosnia conceded in each group match and are unlikely to keep a clean sheet against a side averaging two goals per fixture. Backing both teams to score at 2.20 also holds appeal; Barbarez's men showed against Qatar they can find the net, even if the final result favours the hosts.
