Match description

Panama appears more stable as a team and our model gives them a higher probability than the market. Ghana has a higher individual ceiling, but given uncertainty in form and organization we back the more structured side. Our probability distribution is Ghana 22%, draw 25% and Panama 53%. At odds of 3.75 the model sees EV of about +98.8%, so the price offers a real edge over our valuation. The risk is Ghana’s offensive talent, which can decide the match even with weaker structure. Status: BET.
