USA vs Bosnia and Herzegovina prediction, preview, team news and more | International friendly 2021

In their last game of the year, the USA host Bosnia and Herzegovina at the Dignity Health Tennis Center in Los Angeles for a friendly international on Saturday.

The home side have a good chance of making it into the World Cup finals as they are second in the CONCACAF qualifying standings with six games to go.

Bosnia and Herzegovina failed to make it to the finals after finishing fourth in Group D of the UEFA qualifiers.

This will be the first game since the World Cup qualifiers for both sides. It will act as a good warmup for the home side before they resume their World Cup qualifying campaign next month.
