Canada vs Bosnia and Herzegovina Match Preview
The Canada squad open at home with real expectation because the group looks manageable behind Switzerland. Jesse Marsch should still lean on Jonathan David, Cyle Larin, Tajon Buchanan, and Stephen Eustaquio, even if Alphonso Davies remains short of full sharpness after his hamstring issue.
The Bosnia and Herzegovina squad arrive through the UEFA play-off path and still lean on Edin Dzeko's leadership, Nikola Vasilj's goalkeeping, and Ermedin Demirovic's movement. Sergej Barbarez has built a tighter side than the 2014 version, so Canada may need patience if the opener stays level deep into the second half.
Canada vs Bosnia and Herzegovina Expected Lineups
Canada vs Bosnia and Herzegovina expected lineups remain projected because official XIs arrive close to kickoff. The strongest current read points to Canada using pace around Jonathan David, while Bosnia should stay compact and play through Dzeko or Demirovic when the ball sticks up front.
Canada have managed a few fitness issues in the final week, while Bosnia have also monitored key veterans. Any late change should be treated as matchday news until FIFA posts the final team sheets.
| Team | Expected Starting XI |
|---|---|
| Canada | Maxime Crepeau; Alistair Johnston, Derek Cornelius, Luc de Fougerolles, Richie Laryea; Stephen Eustaquio, Ismael Kone; Tajon Buchanan, Jonathan Osorio, Liam Millar; Jonathan David |
| Bosnia and Herzegovina | Nikola Vasilj; Amar Dedic, Nikola Katic, Tarik Muharemovic, Sead Kolasinac; Benjamin Tahirovic, Ivan Sunjic, Armin Gigovic; Esmir Bajraktarevic, Edin Dzeko, Ermedin Demirovic |
