England are at the top of the standings in Group L and know victory in their third and final group game against Panama on Saturday will send them through to the World Cup knockouts.

Croatia must beat Ghana to leapfrog the Black Stars into second, though a draw could also see the Blazers reach the last 32 as one of the best third-placed teams.

Best Bets:

Panama vs England (Saturday, 10pm)

England are in control of Group L and a victory against bottom side Panama will send the Three Lions through.

The Canal Men have suffered two narrow defeats but could really struggle coming up against the skill, power and clinical finishing of Harry Kane.

Thomas Tuchel is unlikely to rest players having failed to get the group sewn up after drawing 0-0 with Ghana and so with a strong team taking to the field, England should come out on top.

Panama are yet to score at the tournament and are unlikely to trouble the Three Lions backline too much.

Eight of the last ten matches in which Jordan Pickford has featured, England have kept a clean sheet and the Everton stopper will be confident of recording another shutout on Saturday.

Backing a Three Lions win to nil should prove a smart play.

Croatia vs Ghana (Saturday, 10pm) 

Croatia bounced back from the opening game defeat by England to beat Panama but must win again to finish in the top two.

Currently third with three points, the Blazers need to beat Ghana to leapfrog the Black Stars and guarantee progress.

However, a draw should also be enough for Croatia to go through as one of the best third-placed teams.

Ghana are yet to concede at the tournament but Zlatko Dalic’s side will be determined to deny the Black Stars a third clean sheet.

Croatia will be going for the three points and should be confident having found the net in eight of their last nine matches.

However, any win will likely be a narrow one as the last four games featuring Ghana have seen only two goals or fewer.

Backing a Blazers victory and under 2.5 goals is the shrewdest bet for this clash.
