📖 The Preview

Croatia go into this one as strong favourites and it's not hard to see why, with the numbers giving them a 70% chance of winning. Ghana will make it competitive, they always do at this level, but the prediction points firmly to a 2-0 Croatia victory with both teams not scoring suggesting Ghana struggle to find the net. The markets expect a tight, low-scoring affair overall, but Croatia have enough quality to get the job done and keep things clean at the back.
