Former Nigeria Super Eagles captain William Troost-Ekong has predicted a draw when Ghana face England in their FIFA World Cup 2026 Group L encounter in Foxborough on Tuesday.

The Black Stars arrived at the fixture with momentum, having edged Panama 1-0 in their opening group game. England, meanwhile, put on an eye-catching display of their own — defeating Croatia 4-2 to sit top of Group L on goal difference heading into the match.

Speaking at a SuperSport media roundtable, Troost-Ekong told ESPN that Ghana's winning start could prove crucial for their confidence going into such a demanding fixture.
