Bosnia-Herzegovina arrive in Los Angeles with momentum behind them and a point already secured.
Sergej Barbarez’s side produced a disciplined, resolute display against co-hosts Canada in their Group B opener — absorbing sustained pressure while remaining a persistent threat on the counter.
The performance earned widespread praise, not least for the tactical organisation Barbarez drilled into his squad throughout a demanding build-up campaign.
The Zmajevi head into tonight’s fixture unbeaten in their last nine matches across all competitions, a run that has quietly cultivated belief within the camp that they can trouble higher-ranked European opposition when the occasion demands it.
Sergej Barbarez has one key fitness concern ahead of kick-off: Sead Kolasinac. The Atalanta left-back took a knock late in the Canada draw and was forced off, but the Bosnia camp remains cautiously optimistic he will start.
