Croatia vs Ghana Moneyline Prediction
- Moneyline Pick: Croatia to Win
- Odds: -132 (Tonybet)
After two group-stage matches, Croatia sit third with three points following a crucial 1-0 victory over Panama. Ghana, meanwhile, have four points. As a result, the European side need all three points to guarantee qualification.
The Vatreni have produced the stronger attacking numbers so far. Against England, Croatia generated around 2.0 xG while scoring twice, and they created enough chances to beat Panama despite winning only 1-0. Ghana’s defensive record is impressive, but much of it has been built on a compact low block that ceded possession to opponents.
With elimination on the line, expect Croatia to control possession and secure the victory they need to reach the knockout stage.
Croatia vs Ghana Player Prop
- Prop Bet: Ante Budimir to Score
- Odds: +175 (Tonybet)
Ante Budimir scored Croatia’s winner against Panama in the 53rd minute. The team’s 1.65 xG showed they are creating enough service for a central striker to thrive.
His club numbers further support the pick. Budimir scored 17 La Liga goals in 2025-26, produced 17.13 xG, took 103 shots, and averaged 3.14 shots per 90 minutes. He also recorded 205 touches in the opposition box.
Ghana are likely to defend deep once again, forcing Croatia to rely on crosses, sustained pressure, and service into the penalty area. Budimir already broke down one low block against Panama, and this looks like another match where a single finish can decide the outcome.
Croatia vs Ghana Same Game Parlay
- SGP: Croatia to Win + Ante Budimir to Score + Under 2.5 Goals
- Odds: +700 (Tonybet)
Croatia to Win: Croatia’s World Cup experience could prove decisive. In a must-win scenario, their experienced players should have the composure and quality needed to secure all three points.
Ante Budimir to Score: Budimir made an immediate impact against Panama, scoring the team’s only goal. After a solid club season, he looks well-positioned to find the net again.
Under 2.5 Goals: Ghana are expected to take a cautious approach, as a draw would be enough to secure second place. They have yet to concede a goal at the tournament, while Croatia struggled to break down Panama, scoring once, but managed to keep a clean sheet. As a result, we expect a low-scoring game.
Croatia vs Ghana Team News
Croatia Team News
Croatia grabbed a crucial 1-0 victory against Panama despite producing zero shots on target in the first half. They generated 1.65 xG from only six shots in that game, highlighting the quality of the chances they created. However, defensive transitions remain a concern. England exposed that weakness in Croatia’s 4-2 defeat with 22 shots and 2.80 xG.
Joško Gvardiol entered the tournament after recovering from a five-month tibia injury and is still working his way back to full sharpness. Luka Modrić, who has already reached 200 caps, completed 69 of his 78 passes against Panama. Ante Budimir was crucial as he came off the bench to score the winning goal.
The Vatreni have no confirmed injuries or suspensions, which is a major boost.
Ghana Team News
Ghana arrive with confidence after taking four points from two games. However, they’ve been struggling to create chances from open play. The team have produced 1.48 xG across two encounters while recording nine shots in total. That said, their defensive solidity has helped them keep two clean sheets.
Thomas Partey, who has been crucial defensively, helped Ghana restrict England to a goalless draw. Antoine Semenyo remains a threat on counterattacks, but he registered only one successful dribble. Gideon Mensah recorded nine clearances and four recoveries in the last match, effectively containing Noni Madueke.
The Black Stars have no major new injury concerns following their first two group-stage outings.
