Match Preview
Few would have predicted the narrative arc that brings Croatia and Ghana together at the home ground on June 27, 2026, and the underdog storyline only adds to the World Cup occasion. He experienced victory in his only Old Firm appearance as a Gers player, but Sunday will be his first taste of the fixture in the dugout.
Form and standings can only tell part of the story when Croatia and Ghana cross paths in the World Cup, and pride alone should guarantee a contest. The hosts will be looking to find their rhythm and put a run of results together. Ghana will travel with intent, knowing that a positive result here could kick-start their campaign. The fact that Oxford ultimately fell five points short of the total needed to stay in the Championship shows that it would have required top-half - almost play-off - form during the second half of the season.
Tactically, the contest promises a fascinating contrast. Croatia will look to impose their style on home soil, while Ghana are likely to have ideas of their own about how to gain the upper hand. And there are still question marks even in attack, where they have an abundance of supporting forwards including Mbeumo, Cunha and Amad Diallo, but only one out-and-out striker in Sesko.
The fixture is likely to be shaped by its key performers, with creative midfielders and clinical finishers on both sides capable of turning the game in an instant. The battle in midfield, where both sides look to control tempo, could prove the decisive arena. Do not rule out a move for a centre-forward too.
Without the market to lean on, the contest feels genuinely open — and the outcome may come down to which side handles the occasion better. With the sides so closely matched, a 1-1 stalemate looks the most likely way this one ends. Whatever the outcome, the World Cup fixture promises a meaningful contest with real implications for both clubs. Harry Kane is the favourite to win the Ballon d’Or.
