Carlos Queiroz only took charge two months ago following the departure of Otto Addo, whose second spell as Ghana manager came to an end after the nation&#8217;s disappointing failure to qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Queiroz will make history of his own when he leads Ghana into the tournament, becoming just the second coach to manage at five consecutive World Cups. The experienced Portuguese tactician knows that a victory over Panama is likely to be essential, with anything less leaving Ghana facing an uphill battle to reach the knockout rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n    <div class=\"sq-toplist\">\n        <div class=\"sq-toplist__items\">\n\t\t\t    <div\n            class=\"sq-toplist__item\"\n            data-entity-id=\"1381273\"\n            data-offer-id=\"1381470\"\n    >\n\t\t        <div class=\"sq-toplist__item-container\">\n            <div class=\"sq-toplist__offer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\/en\/go\/bet365?q=gb-all-top-wof-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-brand=\"bet365\"data-placement=\"bookmaker-offers-content-toplist\" data-rating=\"9.5\" data-position=\"1\" data-placement-details=\"logo\" class=\"sq-toplist__logo\" style=\"background:#01644a\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/04\/29162841\/bet365.svg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"Bet365 Logo\" \/><\/a>\t\t\t\t                <div class=\"sq-toplist__offer-box\">\n                    <span class=\"sq-toplist__bookmaker\">\n                        <a href=\"\/en\/go\/bet365?q=gb-all-top-wof-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-brand=\"bet365\"data-placement=\"bookmaker-offers-content-toplist\" data-rating=\"9.5\" data-position=\"1\" data-placement-details=\"brand_name\">bet365<\/a>                    <\/span>\n                    <span class=\"sq-toplist__offer-title is-tablet-visible\">\n                        <a href=\"\/en\/go\/bet365?q=gb-all-top-wof-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-brand=\"bet365\"data-placement=\"bookmaker-offers-content-toplist\" data-rating=\"9.5\" data-position=\"1\" data-placement-details=\"offer\">Use code SQUAWKA365 and bet \u00a310 to get \u00a330 in free bets<\/a>                    <\/span>\n                <\/div>\n                <span class=\"sq-toplist__offer-title is-mobile-visible\">\n                    <a href=\"\/en\/go\/bet365?q=gb-all-top-wof-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-brand=\"bet365\"data-placement=\"bookmaker-offers-content-toplist\" data-rating=\"9.5\" data-position=\"1\" data-placement-details=\"offer\">Use code SQUAWKA365 and bet \u00a310 to get \u00a330 in free bets<\/a>                <\/span>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"sq-toplist__buttons\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\/en\/go\/bet365?q=gb-all-top-wof-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-brand=\"bet365\"data-placement=\"bookmaker-offers-content-toplist\" data-rating=\"9.5\" data-position=\"1\" data-placement-details=\"cta\" class=\"sq-btn sq-btn--secondary sq-btn--full\">Claim Offer<\/a>                <div class=\"sq-rating\">\n                    <span class=\"sq-rating__text\">Our Score<\/span>\n                    <span class=\"sq-rating__value\">9.5<\/span>\n                <\/div>\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/bet365-review\/\" class=\"sq-review-link\">\n                    <span>Read our review<\/span>\n                <\/a>\n            <\/div>\n\t\t\t        <ul class=\"sq-toplist__features\">\n                            <li class=\"sq-toplist__features-item\">Bet \u00a310 get \u00a330<\/li>\n                            <li class=\"sq-toplist__features-item\">Excellent Football Betting Options<\/li>\n                            <li class=\"sq-toplist__features-item\">Extensive Bet-Builder<\/li>\n                            <li class=\"sq-toplist__features-item\">Multi-Award Winning Bookmaker<\/li>\n                    <\/ul>\n                <\/div>\n\t\t            <div class=\"sq-toplist__item-tc\"><p>New customers can sign up using bonus code SQUAWKA365, bet \u00a310 and get \u00a330 in Free Bets.

Mohammed Salisu and Mohammed Kudus were both unable to recover from injuries in time to travel with the squad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kwasi Sibo, Elisha Owusu and Augustine Boakye are fighting it out to start alongside talented youngster Caleb Yirenki in Partey&#8217;s absence. Owusu, with 20 caps to Siwu&#8217;s eight and Boakye&#8217;s zero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even without Kudus, it&#8217;s in the spots behind striker Jordan Ayew where Ghana possess serious quality. Manchester City&#8217;s Antoine Semenyo will expect to start. However, Inaki Williams, Abdul Fatawu, Kamaldeen Sulemana and Ernest Nuamah are all quality options.<\/p>\n\n\n<hr \/>\r\n<h2><strong>Bet \u00a310 &amp; Get \u00a330 in Free Bets with Bet365<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<p>Not signed up to bet365 yet?

The Pumas midfielder is a near ever-present in the Canaleros midfield but missed both of his team&#8217;s pre-tournament friendlies with a muscular injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Carlos Harvey looks like the most likely replacement in midfield should the 27 year old not recover in time, but he has been training in recent days and as one of the key players in this team he may be rushed back in even if not 100%. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unsurprisingly, Panama have plumped for experience in this squad as they will look to frustrate their Group L opponents. No fewer than 16 members of their 26 man squad have racked up 50 caps already, with Fidel Escobar set to join the 100 club in this game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ghana-vs-panama-predicted-lineups\">Ghana vs Panama predicted lineups<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ghana (4-2-3-1):<\/strong> Ati-Zigi; Senaya, Adjetey, Opoku, Mensah; Owusu, Yirenkyi, Inaki Williams, Sulemana, Semenyo; Ayew<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Panama (3-4-3): <\/strong>Mosquera, Cordoba, Escobar, Andrade; Murillo, Godoy, Harvey, Davis; Barcenas, Diaz, Fajardo<\/p>\n\n\n<h3><strong>Read more:<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/world-cup-2026-betting-tips-predictions\/\"><strong>World Cup predictions &amp; tips<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/outright-markets\/world-cup-outright-odds\/\"><strong>World Cup outright odds <\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/news\/world-cup-2026-fixtures-results\/\"><b>World Cup fixtures &amp; results<\/b><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/world-cup-2026-betting-offers\/\"><b>World Cup free bets<\/b><\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ghana get their 2026 World Cup campaign underway against Panama in Toronto on Thursday 18 June (00:00 UK time), in a match the Black Stars will view as crucial to their hopes of progressing from the group stage.
