USMNT have been one of the biggest surprises of the 2026 World Cup, securing first place in Group D heading into the knockout stage. They face Bosnia and Herzegovina, looking for a crucial victory. Because of this, fans are closely monitoring Christian Pulisic's status. Despite arriving with low expectations, USMNT have managed to shine at the 2026 World Cup, reaching the knockout stage after finishing as the winners of Group D. They now face Bosnia and Herzegovina today, aiming to secure a place in the Round of 16. With this being a decisive match, fans are closely monitoring Christian Pulisic‘s availability, as he has not started in the team’s last two matches of the tournament. Christian Pulisic will start for the USMNT despite not being in the starting lineup for the previous two matches. The 27-year-old star has revealed that he felt very good against Turkey and is ready to play. As one of the best players in the squad, head coach Mauricio Pochettino will restore him to the starting lineup, hoping he can create space against Bosnia and Herzegovina’s solid defense. Alongside Pulisic, Mauricio Pochettino will bet on Folarin Balogun as striker and Weston McKennie as attacking midfielder. In addition, Malik Tillman and Tyler Adams would be in charge of balancing the team in midfield. Therefore, the USMNT will maintain the tactical approach that shined in the debut of the 2026 World Cup, to secure their place in the Round of 16. Bosnia and Herzegovina will maintain their tactical approach, focusing on defensive solidity. Their defensive line usually stays deep inside their own box, supported by Armin Gigovic and Ivan Bašić, who drop back from midfield. However, they are usually efficient on the counterattack, as Kerim Alajbegović is very quick. With Edin Džeko and Ermedin Demirović as strikers, they may rely on crosses into the box.

USMNT confirmed lineup vs Bosnia and Herzegovina After Christian Pulisic recovered full fitness, USMNT arrive for the match against Bosnia and Herzegovina with no injuries in their roster. Despite this, Mauricio Pochettino could make some adjustments to his starting lineup. However, the game idea would be the same: Press high and seek to be dominant with the ball. Their main challenge would be defensive, as the opposition’s counterattacks could be dangerous. With this in mind, USMNT will lineup as follows: Matt Freese; Alex Freeman, Chris Richards, Tim Ream; Sergino Dest, Tyler Adams, Malik Tillman, Antonee Robinson; Weston McKennie, Christian Pulisic; Folarin Balogun. Bosnia and Herzegovina confirmed lineup vs USMNT Bosnia and Herzegovina have managed to secure their place in the Round of 32, basing their game on defensive solidity. Coming off a victory against Qatar, head coach Sergej Barbarez may not change his starting lineup. Heading into their match against the USMNT, they have one main challenge: Be efficient in the counterattacks, as thay mey not have many chances to score. Considering this, Bosnia and Herzegovina will play as follows: Nikola Vasilj; Stjepan Radeljic, Tarik Muharemovic, Nikola Katic; Sead Kolasinac, Armin Gigovic, Ivan Bašić, Amar Dedic; Kerim Alajbegovic; Ermedin Demirovic, Edin Džeko.
After drawing against Canada and losing to Switzerland, Bosnia and Herzegovina face Qatar looking for their first victory at the 2026 World Cup. For this reason, fans are closely monitoring Edin Džeko, as he is expected to be a difference-maker with his goalscoring ability. Bosnia and Herzegovina face Qatar in their third match of the 2026 World Cup. After drawing against Canada and losing to Switzerland, they arrive needing a victory to keep their knockout-stage hopes alive. However, Julen Lopetegui’s team could cause problems through their patient possession play and strong defense. Therefore, fans are closely monitoring Edin Džeko’s status, as he could make the difference in attack. Edin Džeko will start for Bosnia and Herzegovina in their final group-stage match. Although he has yet to score in the tournament, he remains the national team’s main reference point. With his excellent aerial ability and strong one-on-one play, he could take advantage of the spaces behind Qatar‘s defense. At 40 years old, he is aiming to shine in what could be his final edition of the tournament. Alongside Džeko, head coach Sergej Barbarez has decided to rely on Ermedin Demirović as his attacking partner. In addition, Kerim Alajbegović and Esmir Bajraktarević are expected to be difference-makers on the counterattack, thanks to their pace and efficiency. Rather than dominating possession, Bosnia and Herzegovina could lean on their aerial game, looking to exploit spaces in a Qatar defense that does not particularly excel in that area. Despite coming off a heavy 6–0 defeat to Canada, Qatar could look to show their best version by relying on a possession-based style of play as their main approach. To achieve this, head coach Julen Lopetegui has decided to trust Karim Boudiaf, Ahmed Fathi, and Jassem Gaber in midfield. However, all eyes will be on Akram Afif, the national team’s biggest star, as he looks to make an impact in front of goal. Bosnia and Herzegovina striker Edin Dzeko Bosnia and Herzegovina confirmed lineup vs Qatar Seeking their first victory, Bosnia and Herzegovina have decided to maintain their conservative approach. Head coach Sergej Barbarez has made a few changes, including the inclusion of Stjepan Radeljić at right-back. However, the flanks will be essential, as they will look to launch counterattacks and target the aerial ability of Ermedin Demirović and Edin Džeko. Bosnia and Herzegovina will lineup as follows: Nikola Vasilj; Stjepan Radeljic, Nikola Katic, Arjan Malic, Sead Kolasinac; Esmir Bajraktarevic, Ivan Šunjić, Ivan Bašić, Kerim Alajbegovic; Ermedin Demirovic, Edin Džeko. Qatar confirmed lineup vs Bosnia and Herzegovina Qatar are seeking redemption at the 2026 World Cup as they enter their match against Bosnia and Herzegovina looking to take control through possession. To achieve this, head coach Julen Lopetegui has decided to make major adjustments in midfield and at full-back. However, Edmilson Júnior and Akram Afif remain the focal points of the attack, where they will look to be clinical in front of goal. Qatar will play as follows: Mahmoud Abunada; Pedro Miguel, Boualem Khoukhi, Issa Laye, Sultan Al Brake; Ahmed Fathi, Jassem Gaber, Karim Boudiaf; Hasan Al-Haydos, Edmilson Junior, Akram Afif.
