United States vs Bosnia & Herzegovina Odds, Tips & Predictions: Co-Hosts to Come Out on Top in California?

United States are back in 2026 FIFA World Cup action today, facing Bosnia & Herzegovina at Levi’s Stadium in the Round of 32.

USA have enjoyed their World Cup up to now, winning twice and scoring eight goals. Can Mauricio Pochettino guide the Stars and Stripes into the last 16 of football’s grandest tournament?

United States vs Bosnia & Herzegovina Picks & Preview

United States have progressed to the knockout phase as Group D winners. They collected six points from a possible nine, with Australia and Paraguay both finishing on four.

USA’s campaign as co-hosts got off to the perfect start, as Pochettino’s troops hammered the Paraguayans in Inglewood. Folarin Balogun was the hero, netting a brace in the 4-1 rout.

America made it two wins from two and booked their passage through to the knockout phase with a comfortable victory over the Aussies on matchday two. A Cameron Burgess own goal and an Alexander Freeman header in the first half did the business.

USA were involved in a five-goal thriller with Turkey in game three. Despite United States being through and the Turks suffering an early exit, the European nation nicked a 3-2 win, with Kaan Ayhan scoring a stoppage-time winner at SoFi Stadium.

Bosnia & Herzegovina have reached the Round of 32 as one of the best third-place teams. In the World Cup Group B odds market before a ball was kicked, Canada and Switzerland were fancied to battle it out for the top two places. The Swiss took first place on seven points, with the Canadians finishing three points behind in second.

The Bosnians had a mixed start, drawing 1-1 with the co-hosts in Toronto on matchday one before suffering a heavy 4-1 loss to Switzerland in California.

Sergej Barbarez’s boys needed a victory on matchday three against Qatar, and goals from Kerim Alajbegovic and Ermin Mahmic helped them to a 3-1 triumph at Lumen Field in Seattle.

USA were knocked out at the first knockout hurdle at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, losing 3-1 to Netherlands in the Round of 16. They have failed to get past the last-16 stage since reaching the quarter-finals in South Korea & Japan in 2002.

Since leaving Yugoslavia, this is the furthest that Bosnia & Herzegovina have gone in a World Cup. The Golden Lillies were knocked out in the group stage in Brazil in 2014 and did not qualify in 2018 or 2022.

Bosnia are a tough nut to crack under Barbarez, but United States should make home advantage count. PricedUp are offering 2/1 for the USA victory and both teams to score.

Our Prediction: United States to Win & Both Teams to Score – 2/1
