United States vs Bosnia and Herzegovina Stats, Match Statistics, xG & Player Data
STATES
(Santa Clara)
United States vs Bosnia and Herzegovina stats start with a Round of 32 match at San Francisco Bay Area Stadium, where the United States men’s national soccer team meet the Bosnia and Herzegovina national football team on 1 July 2026. USA bring stronger public tournament numbers in goals, xG, shots, possession, chance creation, and goals against. Bosnia arrive with a lower-volume profile, so their route depends on compact defending and efficient final-third moments.
United States World Cup 2026 squad and fixtures show a Group D winner that beat Paraguay and Australia before rotating heavily against Turkiye. Bosnia and Herzegovina World Cup 2026 squad and fixtures show a Group B third-place qualifier that advanced after a 3-1 win over Qatar. The World Cup 2026 Round of 32 bracket now sends both teams into a Santa Clara knockout test.
The match is listed for 8:00 PM ET at San Francisco Bay Area Stadium, which is 00:00 UTC on 2 July. It also belongs in the World Cup 2026 stats and records tracker because FOX public data gives USA a clear edge in shot volume and chance creation. Full match stats should replace these pre-match averages after the official feed closes.
United States vs Bosnia and Herzegovina Stats – Match Statistics Overview
USA have the stronger statistical base before kickoff. FOX lists USA at 2.7 goals, 1.3 xG, 14.7 shots, 66% average possession, and 8.7 chances created per game. That profile shows a team that has turned early pressure into measurable attacking output.
Bosnia have more modest public tournament numbers. FOX lists Bosnia at 1.7 goals, 0.8 xG, 9.0 shots, 49% average possession, and 5.7 chances created per game. The gap in xG and shots suggests Bosnia need selective attacks rather than long spells of pressure.

Bosnia have a lower shot base but several clear individual threats. Ermin Mahmic leads their goals column with two, while Jovo Lukic leads their xG marker at 0.9. Ermedin Demirovic also appears as their shots-on-goal leader, which fits Bosnia’s direct attacking route.

Mahmic and Lukic give Bosnia the strongest public attacking signals. Mahmic leads their goals line, while Lukic leads their xG marker. ESPN also lists Demirovic and Edin Dzeko in the projected front line, so Bosnia can mix movement with hold-up play.

The xG comparison favours USA. FOX lists USA at 1.3 xG per game and Bosnia at 0.8 xG per game. USA also take 5.7 more shots per game, so their chance volume looks more reliable.
Bosnia’s finishing number keeps the match open. They have 1.7 goals per game from 0.8 xG, which points to efficient conversion from a smaller chance pool.
