Croatia and Ghana find themselves squarely in contention to take Group L as both head into a pivotal final match of the group stage.
Croatia took down Panama in a 1-0 win and sits at three points, while Ghana held England to a scoreless draw to tie for first in the group at four points. A win for either side likely guarantees a spot in the knockout round, while a loss or draw makes the situation a little more tenuous.
Luka Modric remains the creative force for a Croatia side making its seventh World Cup appearance and fourth consecutive, with Josko Gvardiol and Josip Stanisic giving Croatia a backbone of elite club talent. This is a program that knows how to perform when the stakes are highest after they were runners-up in 2018 and reached the semifinals in 2022.
This is Ghana's fifth World Cup, all coming since 2006. This country's best showing came in 2010 when the Black Stars reached the quarterfinals. Ghana hasn't fared well since, though, including a group stage exit in 2022. A win here all but books their spot in the knockout round.
Mohammed Salisu anchors the defensive end, while Antoine Semenyo and Inaki Williams give the Black Stars pace and creativity going forward.
