Kickoff is 7 p.m. ET at BMO Field. The latest Ghana vs. Panama odds from FanDuel Sportsbook list Ghana at +135 on the 90-minute money line, with Panama at +220, and a draw at +210. The over/under for total goals is 2.5.

Before locking in any Ghana vs. Panama picks or World Cup 2026 predictions, you need to see what proven soccer expert Martin Green has to say.

After working in the sports betting industry for several years, Green became a professional sports writer and handicapper and has covered the game worldwide. Last year, Green was profitable in multiple areas on his soccer picks, including the Champions League (+211.25) and Bundesliga (+100). He's also been red-hot in 2026, posting an 18-8 record over his last 26 UCL picks, returning nearly $1,000 in profit. Anyone following could have seen HUGE returns!

Now Green has turned his attention to Ghana vs. Panama in the 2026 World Cup, and revealed his best bets. 

One of Green's Ghana vs. Panama predictions: He is leaning toward both teams finding the net (+105).

"Ghana have more than enough firepower to get on the scoresheet against this Panama defense, and Panama have banked goals of their own in nearly every friendly they've played this year, so I think both teams find a way through here," Green said, pointing to the fact that both teams have scored in five of Panama's last six friendlies.

Green has locked in two more best bets, both of which return plus money!
