2022 WC rematch — Croatia beat Ghana 2-0 in 2022

Modric final WC group match in career

Ghana need a win to advance via third place

Over 2.5: Both teams must attack here

Match Analysis

Croatia: Croatia Play for R16 Placement

Croatia likely arrive needing only a draw for second place. Modrić's final World Cup group match — his last competitive WC moment — will be played with the emotion and intensity that has defined his 20-year career.

Dalić sets up pragmatically — if a draw is enough, Croatia's system will be set to frustrate Ghana while looking for one goal on the counter. Kramarić's clinical finishing is dangerous regardless of setup.

Ghana: Ghana's Last Stand

Ghana need to win here and hope other results go their way. Kudus and Semenyo must be at their best — against Croatia's organized defense, they need to score first and force the Croats to open up.

The 2022 WC saw Croatia beat Ghana 2-0 in a match Ghana felt they deserved more from. This time, they arrive with more tactical maturity under Chris Hughton.
