Ghana vs Panama Preview

Group L comes into sharp focus here, as Ghana and Panama meet, knowing that group favourites England and Croatia have just clashed.

African giants Ghana have endured a few years in the relative doldrums but are playing in their fourth World Cup in five years and they have a squad packed with talent.

Panama continue to find a way to reach the World Cup proper, having come through qualification unbeaten and they will be ready to take on the best sides on the planet here.

On paper, this may not be a game that jumps off the page, but both sides will understand the magnitude of it.

Goals could be on the agenda in this one and here is a look ahead to Ghana vs Panama:

There is a real sense of optimism surrounding the Ghanian side, who have been transitioning through the eras successfully in recent times.

Jordan and Andre Ayew have long been at the forefront of the national team but there is an emerging generation coming through.

Antoine Semenyo, Inaki Williams and Ernest Nuamah are just three of the exciting talents Ghana have at their disposal.

Coming through the rigours of African qualification for the World Cup is never easy but the Ghanaians look to be in a place to enjoy a decent tournament.

This test against Panama should be a tough one, with action expected at both ends of the pitch but Ghana’s superior quality in key areas could prove telling.

The attacking options available to Ghana make them firm favourites for this one but Panama pose plenty of threats of their own.

Having come through qualifying unscathed, Panama saw off the challenge of old foes El Salvador to reach the tournament proper and are in a good place.

They will approach this one with confidence and they may feel that attack is the best form of defence.

Consequently, this could be one of the more open games in the group stages, with goals on the cards and if that’s the case, Ghana look well placed to come out on top.

Antoine Semenyo to score anytime @ $3.50

It has been a season to remember for Manchester City attacker Antonine Semenyo, who has transitioned from attacking threat for Bournemouth, into one of the most potent performers in the Premier League.

With pace to burn and strength and height, Semenyo is the complete package and his inclusion in the Ghanaian setup gives them a chance in any game.

He also has a knack of rising to the occasion, as demonstrated by his winning goal in the FA Cup final last month.

Panama won’t make this easy, but Ghana should be able to get the ball to Semenyo, who should be able to demonstrate his devastating attacking talents.
