England -2

Reason for tip

England beat a strong Croatia side 4-2 in their opener in what on paper looked their toughest group stage assignment. Ghana beat Panama in their own curtain raiser but they were fortunate to claim the three points, and could come unstuck against one of the tournament favourites. England can cover a -2 handicap against the Black Stars, who had lost five of their last six games prior to beating Panama.

England 4-1

Reason for tip

Ghana have only failed to score in one of their last five games and England have conceded in three of their last five. The Three Lions looked devastating going forward against Croatia, particularly in the second half, but occasionally vulnerable in defence and they may concede in victory. Take a chance on a 4-1 England win.

Harry Kane To Score Anytime

Reason for tip

An anytime goal for Harry Kane is the standout bet for this fixture as England rely heavily on their skipper. Kane scored twice in the win over Croatia and will be on penalty duties, so he surpass Gary Lineker and become England’s all-time leading scorer in World Cups by adding to his tally of 10 goals on Tuesday.

Ghana next up for rampant England

England claimed a deserved 4-2 victory over Croatia in their World Cup opener and can win Group L with a game to spare by seeing off Ghana on Tuesday.

The Black Stars also won their first game of the tournament as they edged out Panama 1-0, but it took a last gasp strike to get that win over the line and their performance suggested they will struggle to make any inroad against the Three Lions.

Ghana saw less of the ball and had just two shots on target to Panama’s four – and England may be able to win convincingly on Tuesday.

Three Lions can cover a handicap

England are heavy favourites to win and the best angle looks to be backing them to cover a -2 handicap. England have occasionally struggled to kill teams off under Thomas Tuchel but they looked slick in attack in their opener and had enough opportunities to win by a bigger margin, with Croatia stopper Dominik Livakovic making a couple of exceptional saves.

Ghana have five defeats in their last seven games and that run has included a 5-1 loss to Austria. The West Africans also lost 2-1 to Germany and 2-0 to Mexico, and both scorelines flattered them on the balance of play.

England better in attack than at the back

A comfortable England win is expected but Ghana may still be able to get a consolation goal and a 4-1 Three Lions win has a chance.

Ghana have only failed to score in one of their last five games and England have conceded in three of their last five, and Tuchel’s side looked vulnerable at the back at times against Croatia.

There are a few contenders in the England squad for an anytime goal and Marcus Rashford stands out if he is given the nod ahead of Anthony Gordon but it is hard to ignore Harry Kane even at an odds-on price.

Kane scored twice in the win over Croatia to extend his England record to 81 goals. The Bayern Munich man is now level with Gary Lineker on 10 England goals at World Cups and he can claim that record outright with a goal against the Black Stars.
