Canada Form

Bosnia-Herzegovina Form

Bosnia and Herzegovina played two international friendlies between the end of May and the beginning of June, drawing 0-0 with North Macedonia and 1-1 with Panama.

Before those results, the Dragons had to overcome Wales and Italy in back-to-back FIFA World Cup play-off matches in March. They defeated Wales 4-2 on penalties after a 1-1 draw following extra time, before beating Italy 4-1 on penalties after another 1-1 draw after extra time to secure their place in the finals.

Bosnia and Herzegovina have won two of their last five fixtures, with three draws. They scored four goals and conceded four.

The Zmajevi have registered two wins in their last five away matches, including three draws. They scored nine goals and conceded six.

Bosnia and Herzegovina will need to be at their clinical best to overcome Canada in their opening Group B match, as the hosts have been solid defensively in recent games.
