Panama and Croatia will be eager to kickstart their World Cup campaigns after losing their opening matches last week.

The Canal Men looked set to bag their first-ever World Cup point after dominating their meeting with Ghana only for the Black Stars to find a winning goal at the death.
Former Leeds boss Thomas Christiansen needs to motivate his players to bounce back from that heartbreak and another defeat coupled with Ghana failing to beat England in the other Group L game would result in an early elimination.
Croatia, who finished second and third in the last two editions of the World Cup, failed to cope with the Three Lions’s second-half blitz as they succumbed to a 4-2 defeat to Thomas Tuchel’s team.
Luka Modric will earn his 200th international cap if he features, but the Blazers will be heading home early if they are beaten and England are unable to claim all three points against Ghana.
