England vs Ghana Key Stats

Harry Kane registered seven shots (1.03 xG) against Croatia, equalling a major goal record.
Ghana have won just two of their seven previous tournament matches against European nations.
Jude Bellingham holds the highest major tournament goal ratio of any England player with over five goals.
England's 4-2 win over Croatia was only the third time in 15 games that both teams scored.

England vs Ghana Head-to-Head Record

The two nations have only met once before, a 1-1 friendly draw in 2011, which offers little historical precedent for this competitive fixture. A more telling trend is England's unbeaten head-to-head record against African teams in the competition, where they have secured four wins and four draws in eight previous encounters.

Their 3-0 victory over Senegal in 2022 highlighted their ability to tactically manage these matchups. Ghana will need to find a way to disrupt England's control in midfield, an area where the Three Lions have consistently excelled against similar opposition, to stand a chance of altering that historical pattern.

England vs Ghana Match Prediction

I mean England looked really impressive in their opener and if they weren’t already, then they should be on your radar. There are 5 Path to Glory items linked to this game; Bellingham, Saka, Konsa, Inaki Williams and Ayew. After their performance against Croatia I can’t see this going any other way than to England, and heavily. I’m going to go for a 4-0 win for Thomas Tuchel’s men.
