After both Switzerland and Bosnia-Herzegovina began their World Cup campaigns with 1-1 draws, the pair square off in Los Angeles, looking for improvement.
Switzerland were left frustrated in their Group B opener when conceding a late equaliser to Qatar and will aim to respond by seeing off Bosnia-Herzegovina on Thursday.
Breel Embolo's first-half penalty was cancelled out by Boualem Khoukhi's stoppage-time header as the Swiss, who had dominated in San Francisco, had to settle for a point.
Bosnia-Herzegovina also began the World Cup with a 1-1 draw as they were held by co-hosts Canada in Toronto.

Switzerland v Bosnia-Herzegovina Prediction
Best Bet - Switzerland to win and both teams to score @ 11/4
Switzerland were overwhelming favourites to start the tournament with a win, but they failed to build on their early goal against Qatar and ended up being held to a frustrating 1-1 draw.
Murat Yakin's side dominated in San Francisco, racking up 26 shots compared to Qatar's six, as they were left to reflect on a hatful of missed chances against the perceived weakest team in the group.
A win over Bosnia should lift the mood in the Swiss camp, though, and they are fancied to get it, although Sergej Barbarez's team will likely prove stubborn opposition and can at least score in defeat.
Bosnia began well against Canada in their first Group B clash, going in front through Jovo Lukic, but the co-hosts piled on the pressure in the second half and deservedly grabbed an equaliser.
Bosnia have only failed to score in one of their last 16 games, so should be backed to find the net again, although this time the Swiss should get their act together in attack with the lively Embolo, Dan Ndoye, and Ruben Vargas tipped to fire in what should be an entertaining victory for the favourites.
Alternative Bet - Dan Ndoye to score anytime @ 9/4
Ndoye will have been disappointed not to have got on the scoresheet against Qatar as the Nottingham Forest frontman had six shots, two of which were on target, in the first game.
Ndoye came into the tournament in fine form, scoring in both of his country's warm-up games against Australia and Jordan and he has eight goals in total for the Swiss.
Yakin's side will be determined to put on a good display as they look to move on from the Qatar draw and Ndoye should be one of the players who inspires them on Thursday.
Switzerland v Bosnia-Herzegovina Bet Builder Tip
Switzerland to win
Breel Embolo to have 1+ shots on target
Ermedin Demirovic to have 1+ shots on target
Pays @ 10/3
Switzerland are the stronger of the two countries, sitting 44 places higher than Bosnia in the FIFA world rankings, so a victory for them is the obvious starting point for the Bet Builder.
Then, adding in key frontmen from either side to have at least one shot on target boosts the selection.
Embolo scored from the spot against Qatar to take his goal total for his country up to 25 and can test the Bosnia keeper at least once in LA, while Demirovic also had one shot on target against Canada and should be able to match or better that performance on Thursday.
