Canada vs Bosnia & Herzegovina Tips
Under 2.5 Goals (4/6 with bet365)
This could be a tense opener, with neither side looking to give much away in their first game of the competition. Canada have scored an average of just 1.1 goals per game over the last 10 matches and conceded just 0.4 goals per game in the same period. Bosnia-Herzegovina games have seen more goals over a 10-game period. However, many of those came against weaker opposition in qualifying matches. In their last five matches, against higher-ranked opponents, they have averaged just 1.1 goals per game and conceded 0.8 goals per game. The 2.5 goal line has only been beaten twice in any of the last 10 matches featuring either of these sides.

4/6 PLACE BETDouble Chance Bosnia & Herzegovina (19/20 with Betway)
Both sides come into this game off the back of strong unbeaten runs, and there doesn’t look a lot to choose from between them. The market favours Canada, with home advantage seeming to be a key factor. But we like the look of the Bosnia-Herzegovina squad and we can see them taking something from this match. Odds of around evens feels like good value for Bosnia to claim at least a draw against a side that they look similarly matched to.
USA vs Paraguay tips
Both teams to score (1/1 with betway)
Both sides have been in indifferent form heading into the World Cup but the one constant has been both teams finding the net in their games. It’s hit in seven of the last 10 United States matches, while the same can said of four of the last six games featuring Paraguay. Neither of these sides seems to have trouble finding the net, but, equally, neither can stop leaking goals. They last faced each other in November 2025, when both teams found the net.

1/1 PLACE BETUSA to Win and Pepi to Score (13/5 with Betvictor)
United States are favourites to claim the win in this contest. Although we think they concede, we tend to agree. Being one of the host nations could be a deciding factor here. We’re backing them to get their Group D campaign off to a winning start. Much has been made of Christian Pulisic’s importance to his country this summer, but we actually think that Pepi could be the man to watch. He scored 19 goals in 34 appearances for PSV last season. Back him to carry that form onto the international stage.
