USA vs. Bosnia and Herzegovina Odds & Predictions for World Up Knockout Round

It’s been 8,780 days since the United States men’s national team last won a knockout round match at the World Cup.

Tonight, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, the U.S. has arguably its best opportunity to do so since that fateful day in Jeonju in June 2002, when it defeated Mexico 2-0 to reach the quarterfinals for the first time in the modern era.

Standing in their way is Bosnia and Herzegovina, a small southeast European nation with a population of about 3.1 million. Sergej Barbarez’s squad punched its ticket to the knockout rounds with a third-place finish in Group B after drawing 1-1 with Canada and defeating Qatar 3-1 in its final group-stage match.

The United States’ path was much smoother, as Mauricio Pochettino and company cruised to a 4-1 win over Paraguay in their opener before following it up with a 2-0 victory over Australia without Christian Pulisic. The U.S. did drop its third and final group-stage match, 3-2 to Turkey, but rested the majority of its starters in anticipation of this opportunity.

Now, it all comes down to one game: win or go home.

USA vs. Bosnia: Both Teams to Score – Yes (-115)

Both Teams to Score (-115) has cashed in each of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s last nine World Cup matches, including qualifiers. That streak includes all three Group B matches at the current tournament, with Bosnia finding the back of the net while conceding at least once in every contest.

Make no mistake, the United States has looked dominant in both matches featuring its regular XI. Even so, Paraguay found a late consolation goal in the opener, while Australia created several quality scoring chances in the second half as the U.S. defense began to show signs of fatigue. And although Turkey didn’t face the Americans’ regular backline, it still managed to score three goals.

All things considered, Both Teams to Score has hit in five of the six group stage matches involving these two teams. At -115, there’s enough value to back it in what should be a highly competitive elimination game. With the pressure of ending a 24-year World Cup knockout round drought and advancing in front of the home crowd, the United States may not keep a clean sheet – even if it ultimately gets the result it needs.

World Cup Futures for the United States and Bosnia
