Draw

Ghana

Match Preview

Croatia got their tournament up and running with the slender victory over Panama putting them on course to reach the knockout stages for the third consecutive World Cup.

A draw is almost certain to see the 2018 runners-up progress as one of the best third-place teams, but a victory will see them at least finish second.

Ghana's impressive defensive performance against England leaves them on the brink of playing knockout football at the World Cup for the first time for 16 years.

Avoiding draw will definitely be good enough for the Black Stars, but even a defeat is likely to see them move into the next round of the tournament.
