Canada vs Bosnia and Herzegovina prediction

A tough first game for both teams, with Canada being backed by a raucous home crown in Toronto, but facing a stern test in the form of Bosnia.

A point for either team - which would be Canada’s first in World Cup history - would not be disaster territory, with Qatar the weakest team in Group B.

A win could all but seal a last-32 berth.
