England Vs Ghana Preview

England continue their World Cup campaign with a fascinating clash against Ghana in their second game in Group L. Whilst England are expected to progress comfortably, Ghana remains one of the most dangerous African nations in the World Cup, and has a history of causing problems for top sides on the World stage. At Racing TV, we continue our previews on England’s World Cup run, looking at the competition they come up against, what we think will happen, and what bets could be successful in the fixture.

In this edition, we will be looking at the tie against the Black Stars, the national football team of Ghana. This is the second round of fixtures in Group L, and England will be hoping to get the job done to progress to the latter stages of the tournament.

England Vs Ghana is set to take place at the 2026 World Cup on Tuesday, June 23rd, with the game being hosted at Gillette Stadium in Boston. With Croatia and Panama being the other teams in the group, this match-up could be vital for both England and Ghana, as this could put England top of the group with a win, and it could see Ghana gain important points for qualification. 

England and Ghana have only faced each other once before, and that was not in a competitive setting. Back in 2011 was the last and only time the Three Lions and the Black Stars came to blows, and the game ended in a 1-1 draw, so there isn't much head-to-head data to look back on. However, Ghana has impressed against other top sides in the past, drawing 2-2 with Germany in 2014. They qualified for the most recent World Cup in Qatar but failed to advance from the group stage after being drawn with Portugal, South Korea, and Uruguay.

Ghana might not be the favourites for this game or the group, yet they are not a team to write off, as they possess some world-class players. For example, the squad has Premier League players like Antoine Semenyo, who has just recorded one of his best seasons ever after a January move to Manchester City. Luckily for the Three Lions, Mohammad Kudus does not make the squad due to injury, with the Tottenham Hotspur star being the top goalscorer for his side in the last international tournament.

Despite Ghana's firepower, this should be a comfortable game for England, and if they start well against Croatia, we could see the Three Lions carry on the momentum. The bookmakers tend to agree with us, as England are favourites to win the game at odds of 3/10, whilst Ghana are 8/1.
