USA Form

The United States ended their Group D campaign with a 3-2 defeat to Turkiye last weekend, after conceding a goal deep into second-half stoppage time.

The Stars and Stripes had 53% possession and 19 shots in the match, with seven attempts on target.

Before that disappointing result, the USA thumped Paraguay 4-1 in their opening Group D match and defeated Australia 2-0.

USMNT have registered three victories in their last five fixtures, with two defeats. They scored 12 goals and conceded eight.

The USA have been in solid form at home in this edition of the World Cup, giving them the edge over a Bosnia-Herzegovina side that has been struggling to win matches lately.

Bosnia-Herzegovina Form

Bosnia and Herzegovina booked their place in the knockout rounds of the FIFA World Cup last week after beating Qatar by three goals to one.

The Dragons had 55% possession and 15 shots in the game, with five attempts on target.

Earlier in the tournament, the Zmajevi started their group-stage campaign with a 1-1 draw with the host nation Canada, and a 4-1 defeat to Switzerland.

The Dragons have drawn three of their last five fixtures, with one victory and one defeat. They scored six goals and conceded seven.

Bosnia and Herzegovina will be pleased with their recent triumph to reach the round of 32, but they have been prone to inconsistent performances and have often drawn their matches lately.
