The USA line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Matt Freese starting in goal protected by a backline containing Tim Ream and Chris Richards. Tyler Adams and Malik Tillman form the double pivot in midfield, supporting an attacking trio of Sergiño Dest, Weston McKennie, and Christian Pulisic behind lone striker Folarin Balogun.

Bosnia and Herzegovina have opted for a 3-4-1-2 system, featuring a back three of Stjepan Radeljic, Nikola Katic, and Tarik Muharemovic in front of goalkeeper Nikola Vasilj. Amar Dedic and Sead Kolasinac provide width on the flanks, while teenage talent Kerim Alajbegovic starts in the hole behind the strike partnership of Ermedin Demirovic and veteran captain Edin Dzeko.

USA vs Bosnia and Herzegovina Prediction After Confirmed Lineups
With the lineups now official, USA enter as strong favorites on home soil. The hosts have displayed formidable attacking intent recently, scoring two or more goals in each of their last three World Cup matches. Bosnia and Herzegovina's defensive setup will face a rigorous test trying to contain the likes of Christian Pulisic and Folarin Balogun. Although the visitors possess aerial threat in Edin Dzeko, the USA's midfield control and home advantage should prove decisive in securing all three points.
Score Prediction: USA 2-1 Bosnia and Herzegovina
