Panama
DWLWDL ⚖
Panama will be hoping for a better result after a 1-0 WC defeat in their last game at the hands of Ghana.
In that game, Panama had 65% possession and 3 attempts on goal with 1 of them on target. At the other end, Ghana got 1 shots at goal with 0 on target. Caleb Yirenkyi (95') scored for Ghana.
It has been seldom in recent games that Panama have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. The reality is that Panama have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 6 of their previous 6 matches, shipping 12 goals along the way.
Croatia
WWLLWL
Following on from a losing effort in their last game against England in WC action, Croatia and their fans will hope to get a better result this time.
In that match, Croatia managed 48% possession and 10 shots at goal with 5 of them on target. For Croatia, the goalscorers were Martin Baturina (36') and Petar Musa (45'). England got 22 shots at goal with 11 on target. Harry Kane (12', 42'), Jude Bellingham (47') and Marcus Rashford (85') scored for England.
Croatia have regularly broken through opposing defences of late, scoring 10 times in their previous 6 matches. This doesn’t mask the fact that Croatia can also improve defensively after being scored against in 6 of those same outings. Historical results aside, time will tell whether the trend will be replicated here in this game.

Prediction
We’re of the view that Panama must be fancied to find the net against this Croatia lineup, but a single goal is unlikely to be as many as the goals that they could concede.
We’re therefore tipping a close game with a 1-2 victory for Croatia at the end of the 90 minutes. We’ll have to see what happens.
