Two teams with unfinished business meet on Thursday afternoon in Los Angeles, with both Switzerland and Bosnia & Herzegovina carrying the weight of opening-match draws into a Group B clash that neither side can afford to lose.
Switzerland were the better team in their opener against Qatar, taking the lead on a Breel Embolo penalty before conceding a last-gasp header to be held to a 1-1 draw. The Swiss had chances to put the game away and didn’t – a familiar story that will need to change if they want to advance. Bosnia, meanwhile, fell behind to an early Canada goal before Cyle Larin equalized in the 78th minute to salvage a point in Toronto. The Bosnians showed resilience, but their attack remains unsettled – both Edin Dzeko and Haris Tabakovic sat out the opener. There is optimism that one or both could be available today, which would give Bosnia a genuine threat up front and add another dimension to their attack.

Switzerland vs. Bosnia Prediction
Hard Rock Bet’s Stats Hub is packed with streaks, trends, and matchup data for every 2026 World Cup game – available on both mobile and desktop. Below is our best bet for this afternoon’s match.
Both Teams to Score (-110): Including World Cup qualifiers, Both Teams to Score has hit in each of Bosnia’s last seven matches – a streak that has now carried straight into this tournament with their 1-1 draw against Canada. Switzerland’s opener against Qatar also ended 1-1, meaning this bet has already cashed in both sides’ first games of the 2026 World Cup. With Bosnia potentially getting Dzeko and/or Tabakovic back in the fold today, their attack could look considerably more dangerous than it did in Toronto. Couple that with Switzerland’s price on the moneyline, and it’s reasonable to expect at least one score from each side this afternoon.
