Canada open Group B at BMO Field in Toronto on June 12, playing their first-ever home World Cup match. Bosnia and Herzegovina arrive as a team that scraped through European qualifying with something to prove. Here is the full world cup betting breakdown: odds, predicted lineups and our best bet.
Jonatan David leads the line coming off a career season at Juventus, finishing as Serie A’s top scorer. Alphonso Davies and Tajon Buchanan provide width; Stephen Eustaquio controls tempo from midfield. This Canada squad is the best in the nation’s history and they know it. BMO Field will be as loud as it has ever been.
Team news: No major injury concerns. Jonathan David is confirmed fit and expected to lead the line.
Bosnia qualified through a gruelling UEFA path and will be no pushover. Edin Dzeko is the focal point up front, still dangerous at 40 with his movement and link play. Miralem Pjanic retired but the midfield retains quality through Pjanić’s successor generation. Their shape is disciplined: 4-4-2 compact, hard to break down on the counter.
Team news: Dzeko is confirmed fit. Sead Kolašinac anchors the left side.
Canada’s home record: Canada have not lost a competitive home match in over two years. At BMO Field in a World Cup group stage, the crowd advantage is worth more than the bookmakers are pricing in.
Bosnia defensive record: Bosnia conceded only eight goals in ten European qualifying matches. They are hard to break down. But Canada’s set-piece delivery from David and Buchanan is a genuine threat from dead balls.
Jonathan David’s finishing: David scored 29 goals in Serie A this season, 11 from set-piece situations. Bosnia have not faced an attacker of his technical quality in qualifying.
Canada win this at home. The market has them at 1.90 and that price is right. BMO Field in a home World Cup opener is a genuine advantage.
Bosnia will sit deep and look to frustrate. Canada will need patience, and the first half may be tight. But David’s quality in the box and Canada’s set-piece threat mean the goals will come. By the 65th minute this should be settled.
Bosnia on the counter through Dzėko is the main risk for Canada. Do not rule out Bosnia scoring if Canada open up late. But the clean sheet is more likely than not.
