Croatia vs Ghana — match preview
Croatia meet Ghana in Group L of the 2026 World Cup. Perennial over-achievers, still guided by an ageing but brilliant Modrić.
Ghana arrive with their own plan. Kudus-inspired Black Stars with the talent to trouble anyone on their day. The match-up between Luka Modrić and Mohammed Kudus is the headline individual battle.
On paper Croatia have the stronger squad, but World Cup group games are rarely straightforward — the underdog only needs one moment, and the favourite carries the pressure of expectation.
