Canada vs Bosnia & Herzegovina Under 3.5 Goals — 1.60 — HIGH

Bosnia & Herzegovina Player to Receive a Card — 1.65 — MED
Bosnia physical and aggressive away from home. Tello quick to card. Strong pick regardless of result.

USA vs PARAGUAY — 7:00pm MT
⚠ Julio Enciso likely out for Paraguay — their most creative player.
Archetype: motivation_edge_moneyline
Home motivation: title_pressure — host nation, SoFi Stadium LA, opening game
Away motivation: neutral — Paraguay no realistic title path
Odds band: 1.65 sits in the 1.40–1.79 value band
Engine verdict:
BET USA to Win — 1.65 — HIGH ⭐ ENGINE PICK
Host nation in their opener, 70,000 home crowd, Paraguay missing Enciso. USA lost 3 of last 5 friendlies but those were against Germany, Portugal and Belgium. Paraguay are a step below that. Home advantage tips it.
USA Asian Handicap -0.5 — 1.90 — MED
USA to win by at least a goal. Paraguay without Enciso have limited creativity going forward. USA should have enough to cover.
USA vs Paraguay Under 2.5 Goals — 1.75 — MED
Paraguay have conceded just 1.0 goals per game in their last 5. They will sit deep and defend. Expect a tight game — USA may win but not by a large margin.
USA vs Paraguay Under 3.5 Match Cards — 1.80 — MED
Referee Makkelie averages just 3.27 cards per game — one of the more lenient officials here. Despite the physical history between these teams, he lets the game flow.
USA vs Paraguay Both Teams to Score — 1.85 — MED
USA have been conceding in recent games (2.4 per game). Paraguay dangerous on the counter even without Enciso. Almirón capable of grabbing one.
Christian Pulisic to Score Anytime — 2.10 — MED USA's most dangerous player. Takes penalties. Will be central to everything USA create going forward.
USA vs Paraguay Over 9.5 Corners — 1.85 — MED Paraguay will sit in a low block. USA attack wide through Pulisic and Dest. Teams defending deep concede corners — USA should rack them up.
