England’s World Cup campaign continues with a Group L clash against Ghana in Boston on Tuesday, as Thomas Tuchel’s side look to build on their impressive 4-2 win over Croatia in the opening fixture.

That victory in Dallas provided plenty of encouragement for England supporters. Despite some defensive lapses in the first half, the Three Lions displayed fluid attacking football after the break, showing signs of a team growing in confidence and cohesion.

With three points already secured, a win against Ghana would guarantee England top spot in the group and progression to the last 32, allowing Tuchel to rotate his squad ahead of their final group match against Panama on Saturday.

Ghana, meanwhile, approach this encounter with a sense of belief following Caleb Yirenkyi’s dramatic injury-time winner against Panama. That result means Carlos Queiroz’s men have hope of advancing, even if they fall short against both England and Croatia, provided they keep their goal difference in check.

Queiroz is unlikely to send his side out in full attacking mode against England. Instead, Ghana are expected to focus on staying compact and organised, aiming to frustrate the Three Lions and perhaps strike on the counter.

For Tuchel’s team, patience could be key. England are likely to dominate possession, and with the relatively cool conditions in Boston, the weather should suit their style of play and the players’ comfort levels.

In terms of team selection, there are some concerns over the fitness of Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka. Both players are being assessed ahead of kick-off. Harry Kane, who has already played significant minutes this season, is expected to start again as he continues his pursuit of the tournament’s Golden Boot.

Even if Tuchel decides to make a few rotations, England’s depth should see them through comfortably. It might not be as thrilling as the Croatia encounter, but another professional performance should be enough to secure the win.
