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
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
Typ BTTS: no. Croatia has three points after a 2-4 loss to England and a 1-0 victory over Panama. 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. Ghana has not conceded a goal yet and her plan for a draw will be based on a low block. Croatia should create more chances, but Ghana's goal chances remain limited. The model gives 43% for BTTS Yes and 57% for BTTS No, with xG 1.25 for Croatia and 0.85 for Ghana. Status: SMALL BET

Typ: Under 2.5. Croatia has three points after a 2-4 loss to England and a 1-0 victory over Panama. Ghana scored four points, hasn't conceded a goal yet and just stopped England despite having 78.8% 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. The model gives 35% on Over 2.5 and 65% on Under 2.5. Expected goals: Croatia 1.25, Ghana 0.85, total 2.10. Line 2.5 separates the basic 1:1 and 2:0 scenarios from the more open 2:1. Therefore, with a slight model advantage, the status remains cautious. The most likely score profile is 0:0 or 1:1.

Typ HT/FT: X/X. Croatia has three points after a 2-4 loss to England and a 1-0 victory over Panama. Ghana scored four points, hasn't conceded a goal yet and just stopped England despite having 78.8% 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. The highest rated paths were X/X 29%, 1/1 20% and X/1 16%. The distribution has been calibrated to our 1X2 37%-39%-24% and takes into account the expected contribution of the first half to the number of goals. HT/FT has a high variance, so even the highest path should not be treated as a certain result. Status: SMALL BET
