Bosnia-Herzegovina Looking to Deliver Road Victory

Bosnia-Herzegovina was similar to Czechia in that they needed a little bit of luck to qualify for the World Cup. The Dragons went to penalties against both Wales and Italy before prevailing in qualifying. Their 4-1 win on penalties sent Bosnia-Herzegovina into the field while leaving the Italians on the outside looking in. As a result, Bosnia-Herzegovina qualified for the World Cup for just the second time and the first since 2014. The Dragons own an all-time record of one win, no draws and two losses in World Cup play. Bosnia-Herzegovina is 64th in the most recent FIFA world rankings.

In their final tuneup before the World Cup, Bosnia-Herzegovina played Panama to a draw. There weren’t a ton of chances for either side in the contest. The Dragons opened the scoring in the 23rd minute on a goal by Nikola Katic. Amar Dedic drew the assist on that marker. Their lead lasted almost to intermission as Panama tallied the equalizer in extra time before intermission. Neither side was able to score in the second half and the match ended as a draw. Nikola Vasilj is the projected goalkeeper for the Dragons here. He has 11 career appearances in World Cup qualifying and this marks his first career World Cup start. Vasilj has a record of five wins, four draws and two losses in those outings. He recorded just three clean sheets in those outings.

Canada Seeking First-Ever Win in World Cup

Canada enters the World Cup unbeaten in their last eight matches (three wins, five draws) as they take the field here. Les Rogues battled to a draw with Ireland in their final international friendly. This marks Canada’s third appearance in the World Cup and their second straight. Les Rogues seek their first-ever point, much less victory, in World Cup action. Their current record in the World Cup is no wins, no draws and six losses. Canada enters the World Cup ranked 30th in the current FIFA rankings and hope to make a move with a decent showing.

Against Ireland, Canada had a massive advantage in terms of possession and shot attempts only to wind up with a draw. Les Rogues owned a 2 to 1 edge in terms of possession and a 21-5 edge in shot attempts in the match. Canada, despite that massive advantage in shot attempts, was beaten 3-2 in shots on goal. Les Rogues took a 1-0 lead on an own goal by Ireland’s Jake O'Brien in the 23rd minute. Canada held that 1-0 advantage at the half. They couldn’t maintain the lead, allowing the tying goal in the 60th minute. After that, Canada turned up the pressure but couldn’t net the go-ahead goal. As a result, the match ended in a draw.

Maxime Crépeau makes his World Cup debut here for Canada. He has five World Cup qualifying appearances under his belt. Crépeau owns a record of two wins, two draws and one loss in those contests. He has two clean sheets in those five matches.

Bosnia-Herzegovina vs. Canada Prediction

We’re looking at a pair of sides with limited track records at this level of competition. Combined, the sides have totaled just one win in nine collective matches in World Cup play. Playing at home, Canada should get the boost from the home crowd in Toronto but they don’t have a ton of experience. Bosnia-Herzegovina got here by knocking Italy out of the field. Both teams have been unbeaten in recent matches but neither have set the world on fire offensively. Canada should win but looking at things, a draw might be the safer play. Expecting more than one goal from either side is asking too much, so the best play is the under in this contest.

Our Prediction: Under 2.5 Goals (FanDuel, -148)
