The analysis

Ghana possesses Premier League and Bundesliga quality throughout their squad, though the injured Mohammed Kudus is a real loss to their creativity. Panama is defensively minded but lacks the attacking firepower to trouble Ghana. The Black Stars should control the midfield and convert their chances to take a comfortable three points.

With Kudus ruled out by injury, Semenyo and Thomas Partey carry Ghana's creative and physical load; they have the quality to break down a defensive Panama, but lose some unpredictability.

Panama's compact, defence-first approach is the clear obstacle and a real reason the margin may be slim — Ghana should control midfield, but patience will be required to convert.
