England and Ghana both kicked off their 2026 World Cup qualifying journeys with wins in Group L.
England, following a fairly balanced opening half, comfortably dispatched Croatia 4–2 in a display that cemented their standing as one of the competition's top contenders. Ghana, on the other hand, was less impressive yet still secured a vital three points, edging past Panama 1–0 courtesy of a late stoppage-time goal from Caleb Yirenkyi.
While that narrow win will boost Ghana's morale, England's superior quality should prove decisive here. Thomas Tuchel's squad is expected to control the ball for long stretches—Ghana managed only 33% possession against Panama—and carries significantly greater attacking threat, with Harry Kane netting a brace in the opening fixture.
It's worth noting that the only prior encounter between these two sides came in a 2011 friendly, when England was similarly tipped to win convincingly, yet the game ended in a 1–1 draw.
