England will be looking to secure top spot in Group L when they take on already-eliminated Panama in their final group-stage match. As David faces Goliath at MetLife Stadium, we predict a routine 3-0 away win. Panama are playing only for pride after suffering narrow defeats to both Ghana and Croatia. Los Canaleros can count themselves unfortunate not to have collected at least a point from their opening two matches, losing 1-0 on both occasions. With their World Cup campaign coming to an end, rotation is expected from the nominal hosts, with Eric Davis, Cecilio Waterman, and Azarias Londono all pushing for starting roles. Panama have generally been competitive, but it has to be noted that they have been conceding 1.5 goals per game in last ten outings.
England, meanwhile, were frustrated by Ghana in a goalless draw after opening the tournament with a convincing 4-2 victory over Croatia. Thomas Tuchel's side remain in an excellent position and know that a win here would guarantee first place in the group. Harry Kane remains the main danger man after his brace against Croatia, while Bukayo Saka and Marcus Rashford are both expected to return to the starting XI and add fresh energy to the attack. Anyhow, their xG of 2.28 at the showpiece tournament is fuelling fans with optimism ahead of the final group game.
Given the difference in quality, squad depth, and motivation, England should dominate possession and create enough chances to finish the group stage with a comfortable victory. Therefore, Away Win seems like a sure bet, alongside England to Win to Nil and Over 2.5 goals (England's attacking options should create plenty of opportunities against a side with nothing left to play for).
This World Cup 2026 match will be played on Saturday 27 June 2026 at 22:00.
