Croatia vs Ghana prediction

Our model gives Croatia a 66% win probability behind a +161 Elo advantage and superior expected goals (1.9–0.7). A 1–0 Croatia victory is the most likely outcome, though a draw remains plausible at 21%.

The confidence sits at 66%, anchored by Croatia's rating edge and xG dominance. However, form tells a different story: Ghana enters on a win while Croatia just suffered a loss, adding intrigue to an otherwise one-sided matchup on paper.

Ghana has already exceeded expectations significantly (+1.4 points vs +0.8 projected), suggesting underdog potential. This match offers classic tension between model strength and tournament momentum.
