Switzerland and Bosnia and Herzegovina meet in Matchday 2 of Group B at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with both teams desperately needing a victory after opening their campaigns without a win.

How Do Switzerland and Bosnia Enter This World Cup Match?

Switzerland, managed by Murat Yakin, has been one of Europe's most consistent teams in recent months. The Swiss have suffered just one defeat in their last 15 matches, a loss that came against Germany.

However, they were unable to capitalize on their strong form in their World Cup opener, letting a victory slip away against Qatar.

Bosnia and Herzegovina, meanwhile, emerged as one of the surprises of the European qualifiers. The Dragons knocked Italy out in the playoffs to secure their place at the tournament in the United States, Mexico and Canada.

Their World Cup debut also ended in frustration, as they failed to hold onto a lead against Canada and had to settle for a draw.

Bosnia's Injury Concerns: Kolašinac and Džeko

Bosnia's biggest concern ahead of this crucial encounter revolves around captain Sead Kolašinac.

The Atalanta left-back was unable to finish the match against Canada, leaving his availability against Switzerland in doubt.

There are also questions surrounding the attack. It remains unclear whether veteran striker Edin Džeko will start or whether Haris Tabaković will be fit enough to play a significant role.

Bosnia and Herzegovina Predicted Lineup vs Switzerland

Bosnia and Herzegovina (4-4-2): Vasilj; Kolašinac, Muharemović, Katić, Dedić; Memić, Tahirović, Bašić, Bajraktarević; Demirović, Lukić.
