Ghana
Ghana return to the World Cup with Carlos Queiroz — the legendary Portuguese coach who previously managed Portugal, Iran, and Egypt — appointed in April 2026. Kudus has become one of the Premier League's most dynamic midfielders; Partey provides elite midfield quality from Arsenal. The Black Stars have the talent for a group stage run.

Key Players
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.
