Match Preview :

England vs Panama match is going to be held on 24-th June at Nizhny Novgorod Stadium (Nizhny Novgorod)

This is first match of world cup 2018 because of that both team have to show us their best skills, combinations, tactics to start group stage successfully.

In their first match on the tournament, England had 17 attempts on the goal of Tunisia. Still, they scored only two of those, both of which came after corners. But, they can’t rely only on set-pieces, they need to become more lethal ASAP!

And they definitely do have the quality to put away many goals against Panama. Harry Kane, one of the world’s best strikers, is their number 9. This guy scored both of the goals against Tunisia and is very motivated to keep his form going. Right now, he’s one of the biggest favorites for being the top scorer of the tournament.

Of course, England is not all about Kane. They have plenty of top-quality players in the team. One footballer that kind of surprised everyone is Kieran Trippier. Tottenham’s full back played on the right wing in the match with Tunisia and manager to send some amazing crosses to Kane. Actually, this is the guy who took the corner in the stoppage time after which Kane scored the winner.

Panama lost 3:0 to Belgium in the first round, although they did show defensive quality in the first 45 minutes of that match. But, they definitely don’t have the players good enough to take them to the knockout stage. Surely, they can try to defend with all they got, but they probably won’t be able to manage to keep a clean sheet entire match.

And when it comes to their attack, they seem incapable of scoring against England. There are a couple of spacey forwards in this team, but they’re not very skillful with the ball, at least not as England players. I doubt they will have more than one-two goal attempts on Sunday.


The Favorite Team is England, But Panama will try to take minimum one point or win the match.
