Goal probability

Goal probability determines the likelihood that the ball will land in the goal from every position on the pitch. The value is based on large amounts of data from previous years; factors such as shot angle, distance to goal and opponent pressure - as well as mathematical models.

13 %

Distance to Goal

The distance to goal is measured at the time of the shot - from the position of the ball to the center of the goal.

Starting line-up: Croatia

What's at stake?

With plenty still to play for in Group L, both Croatia and Ghana could still pip current leaders England to the top spot, should either side win and the Three Lions slip up against Panama. Regardless, with Ghana in second on four points and Croatia currently occupying third on three points, both sides should have enough to qualify via the third-place ranking coefficient, barring any major shock results elsewhere.

Last time out: Croatia

The 2022 third-place finishers claimed their first win of their tournament campaign with a narrow 1-0 victory over Panama thanks to a second-half strike from substitute Ante Budimir. Bayern's Josip Stanišić (r.) was the only Bundesliga starter, though Hoffenheim's Andrej Kramarić was introduced off the bench at half-time. Luka Vušković, Igor Matanović and Kristijan Jakić were unused substitutes.

Last time out: Ghana

Wolfsburg defender Jonas Adjetey played the full 90 minutes as Ghana shut out England in a 0-0 draw. The West African nation are one of just four teams yet to concede a goal at this summer's tournament (alongside Spain, Argentina, and Mexico).
