#BinancePickAndWin 🇺🇸 USA vs 🇧🇦 Bosnia and Herzegovina | 08:00 | San Francisco Bay Area
Group stage status: USA top of Group D with 2 wins and 1 loss (4-1 Paraguay, 2-0 Australia, rotated in the final round and lost to Turkey). The hosts. Bosnia and Herzegovina are third in Group B with 1 win, 1 draw, and 1 loss, returning to the knockout stage for the first time in 12 years.
Key injury/suspension notes:
• USA: Carter-Vickers has an Achilles injury that affects center-back depth; Roldán has a muscle injury listed as questionable. Pulisic’s calf issue has recovered, and Balogun is in form after scoring twice vs Paraguay.
• Bosnia and Herzegovina: At 40 years old, Džeko is still the focal point; set-piece headers are a key weapon. The starting goalkeeper, Hankečić, has a questionable hip/butt injury.
🎯 High-pressure pressing from the USA plus wing/side speed (Weah, Aronson, Reyna) should counter Bosnia’s slow tempo, giving the hosts a clear advantage. But Džeko’s set-piece threat and Bosnia’s “iron wall” defense mean it’s difficult for the USA to win big—note that in the group stage they conceded plenty to the USA (8 goals conceded in their last 5 matches).
📌 Scoreline: A narrow USA win 2-0 / 2-1 is preferred; a 1-1 draw leading to extra time is also possible to hedge. Bosnia’s qualification path is already a win for them—overall quality is a tier lower, but their experience is enough to stay in the game for a while.
