What is at stake for USA and Bosnia-Herzegovina?

The USA have reached the round of 16 at three of the last four World Cups, only missing out in 2018 when they failed to qualify for the tournament entirely.

With talisman Christian Pulisic expected to start, the Stars and Stripes will be determined to make it at least as far this time around given their status as co-hosts, but they will need to avoid surrendering a lead as they did against Turkey.

Meanwhile, Bosnia-Herzegovina are competing at just their second-ever World Cup, and having been eliminated in the group stage during their 2014 appearance, the team have already achieved the best finish in their history.

Barbarez's Dragons are hoping to make the occasion more than a mere novelty, but they will need to beat the USA for the very first time in order to reach the round of 16, after drawing once and losing twice against their opponents to date.
