England’s final 2026 FIFA World Cup Group L game takes place today, with the Three Lions in East Rutherford facing Panama.

Panama vs England Picks & Preview

Panama have enjoyed the occasion again, but the Canal Men are eliminated from the World Cup with one group game to play. However, they have been far more competitive this time, shipping just two goals in two games.

They were moments away from claiming their first-ever World Cup point in their opening game in North America. Unfortunately for Thomas Christiansen’s men, Ghana’s Caleb Yirenkyi bundled the ball home in the 95th minute to break their hearts.

Panama were the huge underdogs in their next game against Croatia. It was a mismatch on paper, as the Croatians have reached the final and semi-final in their last two World Cups.

However, the European nation struggled to break through its stubborn defence. It took 54 minutes for Panama to be breached, with Ante Budimir tapping in. The matchup finished in a narrow 1-0 victory for the Blazers.

The English are one of the tournament favourites according to the latest England World Cup odds, and the Three Lions are safely through to the Round of 32 after collecting four points from two games. They will progress as group winners if they beat Panama in New Jersey.

England went up against fellow Europeans Croatia on matchday one, picking up a 4-2 win in a six-goal thriller in Arlington. Harry Kane (2), Jude Bellingham, and Marcus Rashford got the goals.

They failed to maintain the same intensity on matchday two, drawing 0-0 with Ghana at Gillette Stadium. Still, the point in Foxborough was enough to take the English through to the knockout phase.

England ran riot when they played Panama at the 2018 World Cup, the only previous meeting between the countries. Kane helped himself to a hat-trick in a resounding 6-1 victory.

We could see a similar outcome here, as Tuchel’s men will be looking to dominate the match from start to finish. England should be too hot for Panama to handle, so why not take a punt on the English to win both halves at evens?

Our Prediction: England to Win Both Halves – Evens

Panama vs England Picks & Odds

Panama famously got on the scoresheet when the nations met eight years ago, with Felipe Baloy netting a 78th-minute consolation goal. However, they have failed to score at this World Cup.

It was not the result England wanted, but Tuchel’s men picked a clean sheet against Ghana, and the defence should have enough in the locker to keep the Panamanians at bay.

Our money is going on England to win to nil, available at solid World Cup odds of 17/20 with 10Bet.

Our Prediction: England to Win to nil – 17/20

Panama vs England Predictions

With Lionel Messi scoring five goals, while Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior, and Erling Haaland have four goals each, Kane has fallen behind in the race for the World Cup Golden Boot.

Nevertheless, he grabbed a World Cup hat-trick when the nations met in 2018, and the England captain will be eager to add to his two goals in North America before the knockout stage begins.

The Bayern Munich goal machine has been on fire this season, netting five hat-tricks. Kane is priced at 15/2 to hit a treble in this one.

Our Prediction: Harry Kane to Score a Hat-Trick – 15/2
