A win will ensure Croatia’s top-two finish, leaving Ghana in the third place. The winners of Group L will take on one of third-placed sides in the next round, while the runners-up face Group K runners-up. The Ghana vs Croatia contest is going to be one of hardest matches ever so far.
Having restricted England to a goalless draw, Ghana have already sent an alarm to the rest of the world, with the pace of Williams and Semenyo on the break among their beat weapons against a Croatia side
