Kick-off is scheduled for midnight (UK time) on Wednesday 24th June at BMO Field, Toronto.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Panama dominated possession against Ghana but paid the ultimate price, conceding a gut-wrenching 95th-minute winner. They were the better side for long spells yet return to Toronto empty-handed. Three points here would dramatically revive their knockout hopes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Croatia&#8217;s experience counted for little against England&#8217;s second-half intensity, as a 2-2 half-time scoreline became a 4-2 defeat. Dali\u0107&#8217;s side showed enough quality in the first half to suggest they remain a dangerous proposition. They simply cannot afford another second-half collapse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Panama and Croatia have never previously met in senior international football. Tuesday&#8217;s fixture in Toronto is a historic first encounter between the two nations.<\/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 Bonus Code SQUAWKA365<\/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 Bonus Code SQUAWKA365<\/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.

Orlando Mosquera retains his place in goal behind a back three that Christiansen will look to maintain after a largely solid defensive display against the Black Stars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Michael Amir Murillo and C\u00e9sar Blackman are expected to continue as wing-backs. The central defensive trio of Jiovany Ramos, Jos\u00e9 C\u00f3rdoba and Andr\u00e9s Andrade did well to restrict Ghana&#8217;s attack for long periods and should keep their places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adalberto Carrasquilla anchors the midfield and remains Panama&#8217;s most important player in possession. Carlos Harvey and Yoel B\u00e1rcenas are expected alongside him, though Harvey must avoid a yellow card &#8212; a booking here rules him out of the final group game against England.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cecilio Waterman leads the line and must offer more of a goal threat than he did against Ghana. Christiansen has limited options from the bench given Panama&#8217;s squad depth, making the starting eleven selection even more critical.<\/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?

Dominik Livakovic retains his place in goal, but Dalic will look to shore up a defence that was repeatedly exposed by England&#8217;s second-half intensity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Josko Gvardiol anchors the back line and remains Croatia&#8217;s standout defensive performer. Josip Sutalo and Luka Vuskovic are expected alongside him, though Dalic may consider a more defensive setup to avoid a repeat of the England collapse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Luka Modric starts despite lasting just over an hour against England. His experience and leadership remain too important to leave out in a must-win fixture. Mateo Kovacic and Mario Pasalic are expected alongside him in midfield, with Dalic demanding greater defensive discipline from his engine room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Martin Baturina impressed in the opener and pushes hard to retain his attacking midfield role. The Como man was Croatia&#8217;s brightest spark against England and offers the creativity needed to unlock a well-organised Panama defence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ivan Perisic provides experience and quality from wide areas. Croatia&#8217;s bench carries genuine depth, with Kramaric, Nikola Vlasic and Petar Sucic all pushing for involvement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-panama-vs-croatia-predicted-lineups\">Panama vs Croatia predicted lineups<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Panama (3-4-3): <\/strong>Mosquera; Ramos, C\u00f3rdoba, Andrade; Murillo, Carrasquilla, Harvey, Blackman; Rodr\u00edguez, Waterman, Mart\u00ednez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Croatia (4-3-3):<\/strong> Livakovi\u0107; Stani\u015bi\u0107, \u0160utalo, Gvardiol, Vu\u0161kovi\u0107; Kova\u010di\u0107, Modri\u0107, Pa\u0161ali\u0107; Baturina, Musa, Peri\u0161i\u0107.<\/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\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Panama and Croatia face a straight shootout for World Cup survival when they meet in Group L on Tuesday.
