England v Ghana · the read is the same on both sides
England v Ghana
On England v Ghana the model and the market read the fixture the same way. Line-ups, weather, and any late news will be revisited closer to kickoff. Pass for now.

Squad
No late fitness or discipline news on either side.
On England versus Ghana, our model and the market arrive at the same shape from different directions. England reads at 78%, the draw at 10%, Ghana at 12%. The market's shape sits on top of that read. When two independent estimates converge, there is rarely a Pick worth publishing. We'll revisit closer to kickoff when team news and weather can pull the two numbers apart. Two outlets covered the build-up this week — The Guardian (football): "Ethan Nwaneri among quartet called up to training"; BBC Sport (football): "Wayne Rooney on how Tuchel got Maguire, Foden and Palmer decisions WRONG."
Price across venues
