USA vs Bosnia & Herzegovina Tips, Predictions & 18/1 Bet Builder

The USA have impressed so far on home soil, and have a big opportunity to reach the last 16 on Thursday morning, starting as 2/5 favourites (with bet365) to get the better of Bosnia and Herzegovina in California.
USA have managed to stay unbeaten in their head-to-heads with Bosnia and Herzegovina over their last three meetings — from 2013-21 — but without a win over European competition in their last 13 World Cup matches, Mauricio Pochettino has his work cut out in front of home support.
But Bosnia stumbled into the last 32 rather than flew.
They only beat Qatar in their group, drew with Canada and got smashed 4-1 by Switzerland.
Here are our three football betting tips and the best free bet offers ahead of Wednesday night's clash at San Francisco Bay Area Stadium.
USA vs Bosnia & Herzegovina Tips
Here are our top three World Cup betting tips and the best free bets ahead of this game.
Tip 1: USA to win to nil
So far it’s 2/2 for the host nations getting through the last 32, with Mexico and Canada doing so without conceding a goal.
USA are well fixed to follow suit on Thursday, with their European rivals struggling in front of goal in recent outings.
Bosnia and Herzegovina have only scored more than once against Qatar in their last eight matches, and if the hosts start fast in California there is a chance they could get blown away early — much like the USA did to Australia in the groups.
Tip 2: Christian Pulisic to score the last goal
We’re not sure whether USA’s Captain America is fit enough to start this one, but it’s more than likely that Christian Pulisic will take to the field at some point in this game.
The AC Milan forward is the biggest threat for the Stars and Stripes, and with 33 goals in 88 international appearances is usually one of the shorter prices to find the net.
He’s yet to score at the World Cup — providing an assist in the USA’s 4-1 romp over Paraguay — so will be looking to make a big impact one way or another on Thursday.
If the USA are leading at the end of the match, Pulisic’s pace will be a frightening prospect as Bosnia and Herzegovina start committing men forward.
Tip 3: Folarin Balogun to score, Stjepan Radeljic to be shown a card & USA to win both halves
After being rested against Turkiye, Folarin Balogun will be keen to add to the two goals he scored against Paraguay, leading the line for the USA.
The 24-year-old has scored 7 in the last 11 matches and is a constant threat with his pace and skill.
Stjepan Radeljic was exceptional against Qatar and will be expected to keep his spot in the heart of the Bosnian defence. His 8 yellows in 25 apps for his club side, Rijeka, show he’s prone to a mistimed tackle or two.
