Preview: England vs Ghana prediction, odds, where to watch, time | FIFA World Cup 2026

This will be the second-ever clash between England and Ghana.

Boston Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, will host an enthralling encounter between England and Ghana in the third game of Group L of the FIFA World Cup 2026. Both nations will be competing with Croatia and Panama to qualify for the knock-out phase of the competition.

England played their opening game against Croatia and secured an impressive 4-2 win. This is their first FIFA World Cup under the tutelage of Thomas Tuchel. Some eyebrows were raised when the German manager announced the World Cup squad, as big names like Cole Palmer and Trent Alexander-Arnold were omitted. However, after England’s incredible display against Croatia, they have established themselves as one of the favourites to win the entire tournament.

Ghana, on the other hand are coming into this game after securing a narrow 1-0 win against Panama on the opening matchday. Ghana was eliminated from the group stages during the 2022 edition of the tournament, but a positive result will most probably see them punch their ticket for the Round of 32. With talented individuals like Antoine Semenyo and Jordan Ayew in attack, Ghana have the tools to get the better of any opposition.

Players to watch out for:

Harry Kane (England)

The Bayern Munich striker was incredible against Croatia as he scored a brace to take his tally to 79 goals for England. He is technically superior to almost all other strikers in the world and prefers to drop deep and take part in the build-up of his team’s attack. He consistently loses his marker in the box and possesses elite striker instinct to position himself at the receiving end of the chances his teammates create.

Caleb Yirenkyi (Ghana)

Caleb Yirenkyi scored in the last minute for Ghana to give them all three points against Panama, and he will be high on confidence coming into this game. He possesses elite playmaking qualities and can dominate the midfield no matter who the opponent is. His off-the-ball work is excellent, and he works hard to win back possession and frequently initiates counterattacks for Ghana.
