Match Prediction

This Group L clash could turn out to be a fine fixture between the two sides but England would still remain the favourites to win the tie. England will be coming off a solid performance against Croatia and their combinations have clicked pretty well under Thomas Tuchel. Ghana seemed a bit rusty to start off against Panama but all that will matter will be the 3 points that they secured. The African heavyweights will be determined to cause an upset against the Three Lions, while the odds will still favour England.
