US vs Bosnia Prediction World Cup

USA First-Half Moneyline (-130)

Mauricio Pochettino has brought an aggressive, high-energy brand of soccer to this USMNT, and they've overwhelmed teams early in matches.

Against Paraguay in their opener, the Americans scored three first-half goals in a masterful performance in what was maybe the best 45 minutes of soccer in US history. Versus Australia, the US netted a pair of first-half goals, and they even scored a first-half goal against Turkey despite sitting several key players.

My assumption is that we'll see Christian Pulisic in the starting lineup for this one, and Pulisic makes a huge difference for the USMNT -- both in and out of possession. Against the ball, Pulisic is a good presser who can help the Americans win possession in favorable areas. With the ball, his dribbling and creative ability can unsettle the defense, which he did time and time again against Paraguay in his lone start of the World Cup.

There's also the home crowd element. The Americans' energetic style and the raucous home atmospheres worked hand in hand early in matches in group play, and it should be an electric occasion at Levi's Stadium on Thursday.

While Bosnia won't be a pushover, they aren't all that great either. They notched an impressive draw at Canada on Matchday 1 but followed it up with a 4-1 loss to Switzerland before besting a poor Qatar side 3-1 last time out. This will be Bosnia's biggest challenge yet in this tourney, and I think the US will jump on them early.
