William Hill News tipster @Footy_Tipster previews Thursday’s 2026 World Cup game between USA and Bosnia.

Our Prediction: Both Teams To Score & USA To Win (2/1), USA 3-2 Bosnia (25/1)

The San Francisco Bay Arena will be bouncing as the 2026 World Cup hosts, the USA, take on Bosnia & Herzegovina in the round of 32, with a passionate home crowd ready to drive the USMNT on the world’s biggest stage.

Now, let’s take a closer look at some World Cup odds and betting angles for Thursday’s fixture:

Two wins from their opening two matches were enough for the USA to reach the knockout stage of the world’s biggest football tournament for the fourth consecutive time — despite missing the 2018 edition entirely.
Now, though, it’s up to Mauricio Pochettino and his players to confront the USMNT’s grim record in the knockout rounds, having lost seven of their last eight such games. Even more eye‑opening is their form against European opposition: the USA have lost each of their last ten meetings with teams from Europe.
Despite that, the USA head into this clash as favourites in the betting, and we could be in for plenty of goalmouth action. Eight of their last ten matches have produced at least three goals, pointing towards another lively contest. Punters can back USA to win & BTTS at 2/1 with William Hill.

Bosnia & Herzegovina left it late to secure their place in the round of 32, with a 3-1 victory over Qatar on matchday three taking them to four points and squeezing them through as one of the eight best third‑placed nations.
However, there are major concerns surrounding this Bosnian defence, having already conceded six goals at this tournament. A significant improvement at the back will be needed as they prepare for their first ever World Cup knockout match.
Like their opponents, Bosnia’s games tend to be entertaining. Eleven of their last twelve fixtures have seen both teams score, pointing towards another open contest here. Punters can back The Dragons at 7/1 with William Hill to win inside ninety minutes.

2. For online customers: £10,000.

In the case of void selections within a Qualifying Acca, the Acca Boost will still apply but the percentage applied will be calculated according to the final number of winning selections.
In the case of an Acca dropping to three selections or less, the acca will lose its Qualifying Acca status and Acca Boost will not apply.
Any Acca Boost on winnings will be applied as part of the standard bet settlement process.
