Match Overview
With England expected to have won MD1, Croatia must beat Panama to keep their qualification hopes alive. Luka Modrić — making what is likely his final World Cup appearance — remains Croatia’s creative fulcrum at 41. Panama’s compact 5-4-1 block will make this difficult. Croatia’s 2018 World Cup run demonstrated their ability to perform in must-win situations. This is another one.
Our Prediction
Croatia need this win desperately to stay in contention for Group L qualification. Modrić controls the tempo and creates the decisive chances. Panama defend deep but Croatia’s quality in the second half proves decisive.
