General match analysis
Typ 1X2: Ghana scored four points, has not conceded a goal yet and just stopped England despite having 78.8% of the opponent's possession. Ghana can accept a draw, while Croatia must play against a very well-organized block. This increases the risk of a long 0-0 result and Ghana counters after Croatia losses. Our independent forecast is 37% for Croatia, 39% for draw and 24% for Ghana. The most likely score profile is 0:0 or 1:1. The type does not result from bookmaker odds, but from the current disposition, quality of play, situation in the table and possible rotation. Status: SMALL BET
