Croatia - Ghana. On the eve

The third round of Group L will give fans one of the most interesting duels in the fight for tickets to the playoffs. Croatia and Ghana approach the head-to-head match in a similar tournament position and with equally high motivation. The African side have four points after two matches and haven't conceded a single goal, while the Croatians have three points and virtually no room for error after a loss to England and a narrow win over Panama. CROATIA — GHANA SUNDAY, JUNE 28, 12:00 AM ▪️ LINCOLN FINANCIAL FIELD, PHILADELPHIA ▪️ REFEREE - TBA ▪️ LIVE ON MEGOGO After a bad start against the English, Zlatko Dalic's team showed character in the game against Panama. The victory with the score of 1:0 was brought by the goal of Ante Budimir, who came on as a substitute and became the real hero of the meeting. At the same time, the main positive for the Croats was a reliable game in defense - after conceding four goals from England, they managed to keep their goal "dry" and returned to the fight for exiting the group. The experience of major tournaments remains one of the main trump cards of Croatia. The finalist of the 2018 World Cup and the bronze medalist of the 2022 World Cup knows very well how to act under the pressure of decisive matches. Luka Modric continues to lead the game in the midfield, supported by Mateo Kovacic, Mario Pasalic, Andrii Kramaric and Ivan Perisic. It is their creativity that should help break down one of the best defenses in the group stage. Ghana looks like one of the most organized teams of the tournament so far. After a 1-0 win over Panama, the Black Stars held on against group favorites England, ending the match in a goalless draw. Carlos Queiroz's team showed great discipline, compactness between the lines and the ability to neutralize even the most dangerous opponents. Did the Ghanaian shamans who allegedly cursed England attack leader Harry Kane help? History is silent. The defensive reliability of the African national team is especially impressive. In two matches, Ghana did not concede a single goal, and Thomas Partey, after the scandalous exclusion from the first round, confirmed the status of a real leader of the middle line. In attack, the main threats remain Jordan Ayew and Antoine Semenho, who feel great in quick counter-attacks. It is the game in transition phases that can become the main weapon of the Ghanaians against the opponent, who will be forced to have more possession of the ball and take risks. A very intense tactical confrontation is expected. Croatia must win, so they will be forced to attack more and control the game. Ghana, on the other hand, can be satisfied even with a draw, so Queiroz's team will surely bet on organized defense and quick attacks. The duels in the center of the field with the participation of Modric, Kovacic and Parti, as well as the effectiveness of the Croatians in the final phase of attacks, can be decisive. 👑 betking offers to bet on the victory of Croatia with the odds of 1.72, while the probable success of Ghana is estimated at 6.00.
