Coach: Carlos Queiroz

Tactical Analysis

A physically capable 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 with good width and directness. Kudus provides creativity and goal threat from the right; Partey and the midfield control tempo. The challenge is converting individual talent into collective consistency.

Betting Angle

Ghana's group stage results are historically unpredictable — capable of beating both stronger and weaker opponents. Kudus's individual quality makes him worth backing in goal-related markets.
