Match statistics (England vs Ghana):
In a tightly contested match, Croatia secured a 2-1 victory over Ghana, solidifying their position in the World Cup group stage. The home side took the lead in the first half and managed to hold off a spirited Ghanaian comeback.
Croatia dominated possession with 54% and registered a total of 8 shots, 4 of which were on target. The breakthrough came in the 31st minute when P. Sucic found the net with a well-placed shot, assisted by M. Kovacic. Ghana struggled to create clear chances in the first half, managing only 5 total shots.
The second half saw Ghana respond with more urgency, and they found an equalizer in the 73rd minute through D. Luckassen, who capitalized on a defensive lapse. However, Croatia quickly regained control, and N. Vlasic restored their lead in the 83rd minute, assisted by the ever-reliable L. Modric.
Despite Ghana's efforts, including a late surge that saw them earn more corners and commit more fouls (13 to Croatia's 9), they could not find a way back into the match. Both teams received one yellow card, but Croatia's tactical discipline ultimately paid off, allowing them to secure a crucial three points.
Croatia has shown a mixed form in their last two matches, securing a win against Panama but suffering a defeat to England, with a total of 3 goals scored and 4 conceded in their last 10 games. Their recent performance indicates a goals-for average of 1.5 and a goals-against average of 2.0. In contrast, Ghana has been more defensively solid, managing to keep a clean sheet in their last match against England, but they have only scored 1 goal in their last 10 matches, averaging 0.5 goals per game.
In their previous encounter, Croatia emerged victorious with a score of 2-1 against Ghana. Croatia's performance included 4 shots on target and a possession rate of 54%, while Ghana managed only 1 shot on target. The head-to-head statistics favor Croatia, who have won 100% of their encounters with Ghana, scoring an average of 2 goals per game while conceding 1. This trend suggests that Croatia holds a significant advantage going into this match.
