General match analysis

Typ: 1. England won 4:2 against Croatia and showed high efficiency and great strength in set pieces, but twice allowed the opponent to get back into the match. Ghana defeated Panama 1-0 only in added time; Previously, it had difficult moments, and its goalkeeper left the field after an injury. England is the clear favorite, but the first match also increases the goal forecast and the chance that Ghana will create at least a few good chances. The model estimates the odds at 66% for England, 19% for a tie and 15% for Ghana. England has the highest offensive ceiling in this ranking, but the maintained rate is too low in relation to 66% of the model. Status: NOBET

BTTS - will both teams score?

Pick: BTTS Yes. England won 4:2 against Croatia and showed high efficiency and great strength in set pieces, but twice allowed the opponent to get back into the match. Ghana defeated Panama 1-0 only in added time; Previously, it had difficult moments, and its goalkeeper left the field after an injury. England is the clear favorite, but the first match also increases the goal forecast and the chance that Ghana will create at least a few good chances. The model increases the possibility of a goal for both sides: England has an expected goal of 2.15, and Ghana has an expected goal of 0.90. The odds are 52% for BTTS Yes and 48% for BTTS No. England has a very high own goal chance, and the two goals conceded from Croatia increase the credibility of Ghana's single answer. Status: SMALL BET

View BTTS statistics
Over/Under - goals analysis

Pick: Over 2.5. The model gives 59% on Over 2.5 and 41% on Under 2.5, with xG England 2.15, Ghana 0.90 and 3.05 combined. England won 4:2 against Croatia and showed high efficiency and great strength in set pieces, but twice allowed the opponent to get back into the match. Ghana defeated Panama 1-0 only in added time; Previously, it had difficult moments, and its goalkeeper left the field after an injury. England is the clear favorite, but the first match also increases the goal forecast and the chance that Ghana will create at least a few good chances. Line 2.5 is the most sensitive to run: a 2-0 score leaves the under, and a goal from the underdog often immediately moves the game to the over. England's six goals against Croatia raises the ceiling significantly, although Ghana will likely start with a more conservative structure. Status: BET

HT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario

Pick: 1/1. England won 4:2 against Croatia and showed high efficiency and great strength in set pieces, but twice allowed the opponent to get back into the match. Ghana defeated Panama 1-0 only in added time; Previously, it had difficult moments, and its goalkeeper left the field after an injury. England is the clear favorite, but the first match also increases the goal forecast and the chance that Ghana will create at least a few good chances. The 1X2 model is 66%–19%–15% and xG England 2.15 and Ghana 0.90. The highest rated HT/FT tracks are 1/1 43%, X/1 20% and X/X 11%. We assume that the host team can take the lead before the break and maintain the advantage thanks to greater quality or depth in the squad. HT/FT remains a high variance market, so the status is lower than with basic 1X2. Status: BET
