Under 2.5 Total Goals
WCBosnia & Herzegovina @ Switzerland· -115
Bosnia & Herzegovina's attack generated a mere 0.98 xG and 3.0 shots on target in their opener and will be further limited if star forward Edin Džeko remains out.

Switzerland enters this matchup as the most aggressive shooting team in the tournament, recording 26 total attempts and 7 shots on target in their opening draw against Qatar. Despite their high expected goals (3.24 xG), they only scored once, indicating a high frequency of saves being conceded to opposing goalkeepers. Bosnia & Herzegovina’s defensive structure is extremely reactive; they conceded the majority of possession (61%) to Canada and are expected to face even more sustained pressure against a Swiss side with 88.67% pass accuracy. Vasilj will be the primary line of defense against a Swiss attack that prioritizes volume from both inside and outside the box. Given that Switzerland put 7 shots on target against a comparable opponent in Qatar, Vasilj is well-positioned to clear the 4-save threshold.

GARY'S PICK
DAN NDOYESHOTS OVER 2.5
WCSwitzerland· -124
Dan Ndoye has established himself as a high-volume shooter for the Swiss national team, tallying 9 shots over his last four international matches. He is a primary beneficiary of a Swiss tactical system that generated a tournament-high 26 shots in their opener. Against a Bosnia & Herzegovina side that allowed 8 shots to a less possession-dominant Canada team, Ndoye should find ample opportunities to test the goal. Switzerland's dominance in possession (68% in Game 1) and their tendency to funnel attacks through the wings to create 10 corners per match ensures Ndoye will have multiple touches in the final third. At a line of 2.5, he only needs to maintain his recent individual average in a game where his team's overall volume is expected to be nearly double the international average.
