Both teams to score: YES (+110)

Boasting the tallest average team height, Bosnia-Herzegovina has leaned heavily on the size of its squad, unleashing a lethal aerial attack and succeeding in dead-ball situations. While the Dragons have struggled to dominate possession, they did record at least one goal in every match during the group stage. Meanwhile the Americans enter the knockout round having already set a new all-time record for their most goals scored in a single tournament (8). With the team's starters fully rested, expect the U.S. to keep finding the net. — Loza
