Croatia vs Ghana Preview

Group L was always going to be closely fought and Croatia and Ghana meet here, with both sides still able to mathematically clinch top spot.

Croatia were well beaten by England, but they dug deep to beat Panama last time out and now have qualification in their own hands.

Ghana did manage to take a point off the Three Lions; to go with their late win over Panama and they know a draw will be enough to send them through in this one.

Both teams have plenty of quality players in their ranks and while it will be a clash of footballing styles, it should be a very watchable encounter.

All three results feel very much in play, with confidence sure to be flowing through both camps.

This should be a good game in Philadelphia and here is a look ahead to Croatia vs Ghana:

Croatia to win the match @ $1.83

Major tournament football always seems to bring out the best in Croatia and they look to have their house in order, after a tough start.

England dominated the Croats in the first game, giving legs to the idea that this Croatian team were struggling but they showed resolve to overcome Panama.

They take on a Ghanaian side who have shown their quality and who possess plenty of dangerous players in their own right.

Ghana are a very good team in their own right and they should have more than enough in reserve to finish inside the top eight best third placed teams, regardless of the result here.

With that in mind and with a touch more pressure on Croatia, they look decent value to win this one in Philadelphia.

Both of these teams will see the value in chasing the win from the start here, as they look to clinch the result that gives them the best possible chance of reaching the last 32.

A draw will most likely see both through and cynics may suggest that they will play for that but they also both have a chance of an easier last 32 draw.

Croatia were open and exposed against England but rectified that against Panama, while Ghana are yet to concede a goal in the competition.

However, this one could be a bit of a goal fest, which Croatia could prevail from.

Best Value Bet

A red card to be shown in the match @ $3.25

Bet Now

Progression is key for both sides and the stakes are sky high from the outset, even though a draw wouldn’t be the worst result.

Ghana’s physicality unnerved England last time out while Croatia possess some very canny footballers.

Tempers may flare a touch in pursuit of a decent finish in Group L and if they do, a red card looks decent value to be brandished on either side.
