USA vs Bosnia & Herzegovina: World Cup Round of 32 Preview

USA and Bosnia & Herzegovina meet at Levi’s Stadium in San Francisco in a World Cup Round of 32 tie, with both sides coming off solid group campaigns. USA topped Group D with 6 points and a +4 goal difference, while Bosnia & Herzegovina advanced from Group B with 4 points despite a negative goal balance.

Form lines from the group stage underline a contrast in momentum. USA’s recent run reads LWW, built on an impressive attack of 8 goals in 3 matches and a strong home record in this tournament: 2 wins from 2, scoring 6 and conceding just 1. Bosnia & Herzegovina’s form is WLD, with 5 goals scored but 6 conceded, and more vulnerability away from home, where they have let in 5 of those 6 goals.

Head-to-Head History

Head-to-head history slightly favors USA, who beat Bosnia & Herzegovina 1-0 in Carson in 2021 after a 0-0 draw at the same venue in 2018. USA must, however, cope without C. Roldan, ruled out with a muscle bruise.

Match Stats

Stats suggest USA’s sharper attack and defensive record give them the edge, and they look better placed to progress from this knockout clash.
