World Cup Predictions Today: Panama vs. Ghana

Ghana Moneyline (+115)

Ghana and Panama enter this Group L matchup knowing that points will be difficult to come by against England and Croatia. That makes this a pivotal match in the race for second place. Ghana arguably has the higher ceiling thanks to players such as Antoine Semenyo and Inaki Williams

The Black Stars have become increasingly dangerous in transition, with Semenyo and Williams providing pace and directness that can trouble Panama's back line.

In a relatively even matchup, Ghana's high-end talent is the side I want to back.

Antoine Semenyo Anytime Goalscorer (+250)

Semenyo is Ghana's most dangerous attacking player and one of Africa's top offensive talents. He can score from distance, create chances off the dribble, and is lethal in one on ones.

Panama's defense is well organized, but it can be vulnerable against athletic forwards who attack space in transition. That's where Semenyo excels.

Ghana is likely to look for quick breaks through Semenyo and Williams, and Semenyo's willingness to shoot from almost any position should give him multiple opportunities to find the net.
