Bosnia and Herzegovina Favored in Group B Decider with Qatar in Seattle

The winner is likely to keep qualification hopes alive under the expanded 48‑team World Cup format.

Overview

Both teams sit level on one point and need a win to preserve realistic chances of advancing because Canada and Switzerland lead the group on four points.
Pre-match betting markets and previews make Bosnia the clear favorite based on a superior goal difference and deeper squad options.
Qatar enter the game under acute pressure after a 0-6 defeat to Canada left them with seven goals conceded from two matches and urgent defensive concerns.
Edin Džeko is Bosnia’s focal attacking threat while Qatar rely on Akram Afif, Almoez Ali and veteran Hassan Al‑Haydos to produce the goals they have so far lacked.
The match will be played at Lumen Field in Seattle with broadcasts planned on ITV/ITVX in the UK and Fox and Telemundo in the United States and both squads reported available for selection.
