The Americans have displayed tremendous attacking quality throughout the group stage. They crushed Paraguay 4-1, comfortably defeated Australia 2-0, and rotated heavily in an inconsequential match against Turkey. Led by Christian Pulisic and the red-hot Folarin Balogun, the hosts possess exceptional squad depth, pace on the wings, and enormous motivation to perform in front of their home fans at Levi’s Stadium.

On the other hand, Sergej Barbarez’s side have already made history by reaching the knockout stage. However, Bosnia’s defensive vulnerabilities have been exposed under pressure, most notably in their heavy 4-1 defeat to Switzerland. They could still threaten through the in-form Ermin Mahmić and perhaps find a consolation goal, but it is difficult to see them withstanding ninety minutes of relentless pressure from the hosts.

The United States are expected to impose a high tempo from the opening whistle, and Mauricio Pochettino’s superior quality and squad depth should be enough to secure a convincing victory and a place in the Round of 16.
