Analysis
How it plays out
Croatia's high press against Panama's transition game. Panama will try to absorb the press and release quick, so the battle is in the first 10 seconds after each turnover. Croatia will expect to hold 54% possession. Panama need their shape to stay compact without the ball and be clinical when they win it back.
What decides it
Croatia press high (PPDA 20.4). If the press doesn't win the ball early, the space behind their back line becomes exposed. Panama will concede possession willingly and attack in transition. Their defensive block needs to hold without fouling in dangerous areas. Ante Budimir's 9.8% scoring probability is the highest in this fixture. Containing that output is Panama's primary defensive task.
Off the pitch
No major off-pitch asymmetries. This one is decided by the football.
The angle
Likely the last World Cup for Ivan Perišić. Tournament experience at this level is hard to quantify but hard to replace.
