LiontipsCroatia vs Ghana: betting tip (cf 2.06) and bets on the World Cup match
Command Analysis
Current form
Croatia scored three points in two rounds. In many ways, the result was expected, since it was still difficult to count on victory against England. In that meeting, the draughtsmen risked playing open football, but they only had enough for the first half, which ended with a score of 2:2. In the second 45 minutes, the Croats could not maintain a high tempo and naturally lost (2:4). The match against Panama revealed problems with a positional attack against an opponent who defends with great strength. Budimir scored the only goal in that meeting in the 54th minute. During the entire match, Zlatko Dalic's men scored only six shots on goal (two of them on target). The tournament situation today forces us to play only to win in order to take second place.

Current form
Ghana scored four points in two rounds and is in second place. There is even a chance to beat England, which has the same four points, but for this you need to beat the Croats by a decent margin to beat the British in case of a tie, or hope for a competitor misfire in the game with Panama. At the same time, a draw today guarantees a place in the playoffs. Carlos Queiroz's men have proven themselves to be a disciplined team in which all the players do their job well. Ghana has not conceded a single goal after two matches, only Spain and Argentina can boast of such a result. It was not easy with England, the opponent had the ball 79% of the playing time, but at the same time he scored only two shots on target (0-0). With Panama, they managed to score the winning goal in the 95th minute (1-0) in a counterattack when the opponent risked opening up. The tournament layout is such that today you can play in the usual manner as number two and hope for counterattacks, this is a clear plus for the national team. Plus, the match will be held in the United States, which means that Thomas Partie, who is not allowed to enter Canada due to court proceedings, will play in the center of the field.

Tip and bets
In the line of bookmakers, despite the tournament position, Croatia gets the status of the favorite. It's hard to agree with this, first of all, given the game that the opponents are demonstrating. The Croats and England were unable to maintain a high tempo throughout the match, as age-related players still play a key role in the squad. There were obvious problems with Panama in the positional attack, they scored only six shots on goal during the match.
The Croats will play today against Ghana, which, under the leadership of Carlos Queiroz, has a well-organized defensive game. The national team withstood the onslaught of the British, found its moment in the end with Panama, skillfully uses counterattacks. Queiroz obviously won't change tactics today, as the team is satisfied with a draw. We believe that Ghana will score at least one point.
Our betting tip is that Ghana will not lose by a factor of 2.06
Bet on the total
Ghana has not conceded a single goal in two rounds, and they play indoor soccer with a clear focus on defense. The Croats had some problems scoring the only goal against Panama, and they had big problems in their positional attack. It is unlikely that the upcoming game will be productive, especially since hardly anyone will take risks, given that the playoffs are actually being played and a potential draw could lead both teams out of the group.
The second bet is a total of less than 2.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.63
Betting on shots on target
In matches involving Ghana, you can regularly see the minimum number of shots on target. This is due to the tactics of the national team, when the game is focused on destruction. In just two of the previous six matches of the African national team, more than seven shots on target were recorded. Based on this trend, we recommend another bet.
Betting Tip – the total number of shots on target is less than 7.5 with a coefficient of 1.90
