Lincoln Financial Field will host a tense Group L finale as Croatia and Ghana battle for a place in the World Cup knockout stages. As both sides should be happy with one point from the match, we predict a 1-1 draw. Croatia boosted their qualification hopes with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Panama. Substitute Ante Budimir proved to be the hero, and the Osasuna striker is now expected to earn a place in the starting lineup. Zlatko Dalic has no fresh injury concerns, which means experienced stars Luka Modric and Mateo Kovacic should once again be key figures in midfield. Croatia have won six of their last ten matches and possess the experience needed for high-pressure encounters.
Ghana, meanwhile, have exceeded expectations so far. After defeating Panama and holding England to a valuable draw, the Black Stars find themselves in an excellent position heading into the final group game. Antoine Semenyo and Inaki Williams remain their biggest attacking threats, although Williams will need to be careful as another booking would result in suspension. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the Croatia game. The fact that Ghana are scoring only 1.00 goals per game goes in favour of our betting prediction.
With both teams requiring only a point, neither side is expected to take unnecessary risks. Therefore, we are tempted to place our bets on Draw, alongside Half-Time Draw and Under 2.5 goals.
This World Cup 2026 match will be played on Saturday 27 June 2026 at 22:00.
