Kerim Alajbegović scored one and created another as Bosnia & Herzegovina swept past Qatar 3-1 in the World Cup to set up a meeting with the USA on 2 July 2026. The result was rarely in doubt from the moment the hosts took control of the midfield, and they made Qatar pay for a sluggish start with three first-half goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who will win the Bosnia vs Qatar match?
Bosnia are strongly favoured to win this World Cup qualifier. Their superior mental strength and recent goal output give them a clear edge over a Qatar side that has lost five straight and conceded eleven times.
Who has better form coming into this match?
Bosnia have marginally better form, having won once in five games and scored eight goals. Qatar are winless in five and have let in eleven, so the momentum sits with the Europeans.
Will both teams score in the Bosnia vs Qatar game?
It looks unlikely. Qatar have failed to score in four of their last five matches, while Bosnia have kept two clean sheets in that span. A low-scoring affair with one team on the scoresheet is probable.
