All eyes will be on Boston with England and Ghana facing off to top their World Cup group at 4:00 p.m. ET on Tuesday on FOX.
England were exceptional in their opening game of this World Cup, in stark contrast to Ghana, which is the basis for my England vs. Ghana predictions and World Cup picks backing a spread win for the Three Lions.
TOP PICK
Who will win England vs Ghana: England -1.5 (-149)
England started the World Cup strong and we can expect a similar performance in attack. They managed 20 shots, with over half on target, but what was impressive was the directness with which they attacked.
Harry Kane’s off-the-ball movement is what makes this team tick. He can create space within the box to fire off goals, but what really stands out is when he drops deep. That pulls out the central defender and creates huge gaps between where that defender was and his fullback, allowing England’s wide players, all equipped with real pace, to take those gaps and create chances.
The bench has real talent too, and the likes of Marcus Rashford and Djed Spence both offer speed, which can decimate tiring defenses.
As for Ghana, they did beat Panama, but they were second in nearly every metric and required an injury-time goal to seal it. They will match up in a similar formation, making it a man-on-man battle and one in which England have superiority in.
I would play England -1.5 to -160 before losing value.

England vs Ghana Over/Under pick: Over 2.5 (-161)
We’re taking the Over in this match. England scored four in that opener, but what bodes well is how spread the attacking chances were. Eleven different players registered a shot, with eight players managing to get one on target. Kane is the essential part of this team, but goals can come from anywhere.
Width is so important to how they play, with the wingers and full-backs both key to offensive moves. A total of eight shots came from players operating on the flanks, which speaks to how they’re used by Thomas Tuchel, starting on the outside of the field, before coming inside and moving into vacated spaces.
One concern for England heading into this World Cup was the weather, with hot conditions making the players lethargic and tired, but with rain showers forecasted in Foxborough and temperatures under 70 degrees, this shouldn’t be an issue at all.
