England return to World Cup action on Sunday evening knowing that victory over Ghana would secure their place in the knockout stages.
Thomas Tuchel’s side made an impressive start to the tournament by defeating Croatia 4-2 in their opening Group L fixture, while Ghana snatched a late victory over Panama.
With Panama and Croatia also battling for qualification, England know that another three points would put them in a commanding position before their final group match.
The Three Lions have looked sharp under Tuchel and possess arguably the strongest attacking squad they have taken to a World Cup in years. Harry Kane remains the focal point, while Jude Bellingham, Anthony Gordon and Bukayo Saka provide creativity and goals from all areas of the pitch.
The Black Stars possess quality through Antoine Semenyo, but they struggled to create clear-cut chances in their opener and now face one of the tournament favourites.
Everything points towards England taking another major step towards the last 16.
England Half-Time/Full-Time (BetWarriors Enhanced Odds)
One of the standout bets for this fixture comes courtesy of BetWarriors, who have boosted England to be leading at half-time and full-time from 13/20 to an extremely generous Evens.
It’s a promotion that immediately catches the eye when looking at England’s recent record.
The Three Lions have been fast starters under Tuchel and have led at half-time in eight of their last nine victories. England’s attacking approach has often seen them establish control early before managing games effectively in the second half.
Against a Ghana side that struggled in their opening fixture and now faces the prospect of chasing the game if they fall behind, the enhanced price looks tasty.
At Evens, England HT/FT stands out as one of the strongest value bets available on the entire matchday.
Score Prediction: England 3-0 Ghana
England should have too much quality for Ghana across the pitch.
The Black Stars possess talented individuals capable of causing problems on the counter-attack, but Tuchel’s side appear significantly stronger in every department and have already shown they can perform on the big stage.
Given England’s tendency to start quickly, this could be a game that opens up as it progresses. Expect the Three Lions to take control early and secure a comfortable victory.
