Match Analysis

England: England Close Out Group L

England arrive at MD2 in control of Group L. Bellingham and Saka from their MD1 performance will carry momentum — Ghana's 4-2-3-1 has more individual quality than Croatia but England's defensive organization remains the group's best.

Harry Kane against Ghana's center-backs is a physical mismatch. Southgate will push for a clean sheet to maximize goal difference heading into the knockouts.

Ghana: Ghana Must Score to Stay Alive

Ghana need a win or draw here to stay in third-place contention. Mohammed Kudus from West Ham and Semenyo's directness give them attacking quality — but against England's defensive organization, they need to be efficient.

Ghana have scored in 7 of their last 8 competitive matches — even against England, they may find a moment. Their set piece delivery creates 2-3 good opportunities from corners per match.
