Panama vs England Prediction

Group L · Saturday, June 27 · 5:00 PM ET · MetLife Stadium, New York/New Jersey · TV: FOX (English), Peacock (Spanish)

Our prediction

Model win probability

13% Panama 23% Draw 64% England

Both sides open their Group L campaign here, so there is no tournament form to separate them yet. Expect a cagey opening: teams that avoid defeat on matchday one advance from their group about four times out of five historically.

Win probabilities from our Elo-based Monte Carlo model (methodology). Editorial preview, not betting advice.

Where they stand

Panama are yet to play in Group L. England are also yet to play. Top two qualify directly for the Round of 32; third can advance among the eight best thirds.
