England and Ghana meet at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough in a genuine Group L top-of-group decider, the two sides level on three points with first place at stake.

England top on goal difference

England opened with a thrilling 4-2 win over Croatia on their new coach's World Cup bow, the most potent attack on show carrying them above the rest only on goal difference. They arrive with no major absentees reported and a clear chance to seize control of the group. Their willingness to attack, even at defensive cost, sets the tone for an open occasion.

Ghana level and unfazed

Ghana matched England's points with a hard-fought 1-0 win over Panama, settled late, and they will not be overawed - their experienced coach is taking charge at a fifth consecutive World Cup. They created less than the leaders but defended well, and to claim top spot they will have to take the game to England rather than contain it.

Our forecast: goals in a decider

With both sides needing a result and England committed to front-foot football, our forecast leans toward goals: the total going over 2.5 reads as the value angle rather than simply backing the favourite. Around it, an England win reflects their quality edge, the leaders to score over 1.5 fits their trend, the match passing over 1.5 looks near-certain, and a one-goal handicap reflects England's superiority.
