Croatia vs. Ghana World Cup Preview
Group L is very interesting. Ghana is currently second, with 4 points, while Croatia sits third, one step behind. While the African team is pretty much safe for the knockout stage, Croatia still isn’t, and the third-placed team from the previous World Cup needs to push with all its power here to win or at least take a point.

Croatia Team News & Stats
To be honest, the Croatians didn’t perform well in the opening two rounds. After a 4-2 defeat to England, we saw them struggle against Panama, though they won that one narrowly, 1-0.
Still, this is a very experienced unit, which has faced these situations numerous times in the past. We are sure that they won’t collapse under pressure.
Likely Lineup: Livakovic; Stanisic, Gvardiol, Pongracic, Caleta-Car; Kovacic, Modric, M. Pasalic; Vlasic, Kramaric, Perisic
Ghana Team News & Stats
Ghana isn’t winning often, but right now, following a 1-0 triumph over Panama and a goalless tie vs. England, the African team is bound to take one of the 8 spots reserved for the best third-placed units.
The win over Panama is the only one in the last 8 appearances, yet it came at the best possible moment. Ghana plays conservative and physical football, emphasizing defense. It’s no wonder they haven’t allowed a goal at the World Cup.
Likely Lineup: Ati-Zigi; Seidu, Opoku, Mumin, Mensah; Semenyo, Partey, E. Owusu, Boakye, Sulemana; Jordan Ayew
Head to Head
There hadn’t been any games between these teams in the past.
Croatia vs. Ghana World Cup Predictions
This will be a defensive slugfest, mainly because of Ghana. They have the upper edge here and don’t have to push hard. Meanwhile, Croatia is an experienced team that won’t attack too hard until the very end of the game, but waits for the rival’s mistake. Therefore, we expect low efficiency here.
