Panama has no chance of reaching the next round, but the team is still chasing its first point in World Cup history. It lost 1-0 to Ghana and then fell to Croatia after managing only one shot on target. The defeats made Panama the sixth team in World Cup history to lose its first five matches in the competition.
England also enters the match with unfinished business. Thomas Tuchel’s team drew 0-0 with Ghana and failed to secure first place in Group L with a game to spare. The Three Lions are considered strong favorites and are targeting the top of the group.
The previous World Cup meeting favors England heavily. England won 6-1 in Russia in 2018, its biggest winning margin at a World Cup. Panama did score its first goal in the tournament’s history during that match.
Panama has failed to score in three of its five World Cup matches. Amir Murillo led the team’s attacking efforts against Croatia with three shots but has gone 22 consecutive internationals without scoring. Marcus Rashford is expected to start for England. He has four World Cup goals, all scored in the second half. Neither team has reported serious injuries, although Reece James and Declan Rice have minor fitness concerns.
