World Cup Day 2 Both host nations in action and here's how I'm approaching the markets. > Canada vs Bosnia and Herzegovina • Match Winner: Canada but with a concern Canada are playing their first men's WC match ever on Canadian soil. Jesse Marsch has them playing aggressive football. The problem is Alphonso Davies is out and other key players are carrying fitness concerns. More responsibility falls on Jonathan David and the attacking group to carry this. Don't sleep on Bosnia. They knocked Italy out on penalties in the playoffs. Edin Dzeko still is a reliable focal point. They're better than most people expect. • Both Teams to Score: Yes Canada are stronger going forward than defensively. Bosnia have the experience and aerial threat to create chances. Both sides need points before facing Switzerland later in the group. Neither can afford to sit back completely. • Over/Under 2.5: Over Canada presses and attacks under Marsch. Bosnia won't park for 90 minutes. This profiles as one of the more open games of the opening round. Highest conviction: BTTS Yes / Over 1.5 goals / Canada Over 0.5 goals ----------------------------------------- > USA vs Paraguay • Match Winner: USA Pochettino has built this squad around structure and composure. They're at home, fully available, and a core group entering its prime. Paraguay are disciplined and hard to break down but their path to a +ve result is low since they don't create high chances. • Both Teams to Score: No (risky) Paraguay's identity is being defensive. Whereas USA under Pochettino have looked more structured at the back despite mixed friendly results. Nothing here points to an open game. • Under 2.5 goals Highest conviction: USA or Draw / Under 3.5 goals / Paraguay Under 1.5 goals -----------------------------------------
