Ghana did a good job of stifling England in midweek and it is easy to see them adopting a similar approach to Saturday’s final Group L clash with Croatia . The Blazers boast an excellent World Cup pedigree but just look to be a bit of a fading force due to their best players going over the hill.
A draw would not be disappointing for either side in Philadelphia , so 23/10 for that outcome is our initial Croatia vs Ghana prediction.

Form Guides
Croatia form guide
Having finished second and third in the last two renewals of this tournament, the current Croatia World Cup squad posted mixed results in warm-up matches. Although enjoying wins over Colombia and Slovenia , it felt like losses to Brazil and Belgium may have exposed their limitations this time around.
The Blazers managed to fight fire with fire against a revved-up England in an entertaining first half, twice coming from behind to equalise through Martin Baturina and Petar Musa . However, the Three Lions took control after the break and ultimately ran out convincing 4-2 victors.
Luka Modric’s 200th appearance for Croatia then ended in a 1-0 win over Panama , with substitute Ante Budimir supplying the decisive touch in the 54th minute. A tight first half had produced few openings and a similar scenario is anticipated here, with both of Ghana’s games being goalless at the break.
On the evidence seen so far, 6/4 for this match to be 0-0 at the interval is a solid selection for our World Cup tips today.
Ghana form guide
It took the Black Stars until the fifth minute of stoppage time to get the better of Panama in their opening fixture, with Caleb Yirenkyi steering in Brandon Thomas-Asante’s cross to settle a match of few clear chances.
Ghana built on that by producing a dogged and determined display which held a more subdued England side to a goalless stalemate . Carlos Queiroz felt his well-drilled outfit could have even snatched a surprise win from that Boston battle, but appeals for a late penalty following Ezri Konsa’s challenge on Prince Adu fell on deaf ears.
England dominated possession and had 19 shots, but Queiroz countered: “I say it was a fair result. They play more time with the ball; we fight more, we fight better.” Ghana were certainly physical, both in defence and when occasionally getting forward, so 23/10 for a penalty to be awarded during this match may tempt some punters.
However, we’re sticking with the theory that this will be a cagey contest, so 15/4 for the scores to be level at half-time and full-time is added to our Croatia vs Ghana betting tips.
