It's a must win game for both the teams especially Croatia for a permanent spot in the Round of 32.
Fans are excited for another spell and maybe the victim this time would be Luka Modric.
The match will be held on June 28, 2:30 am (IST) at the Philadelphia Stadium, Philadelphia, USA.
Croatia head into their decisive Group L clash knowing there is no room for error. After losing 4-2 to England in their opener, they bounced back with a vital win over Panama to move to three points. Another victory against Ghana could be enough to send them into the Round of 32, but anything less would leave their fate hanging by a thread.
Ghana, meanwhile, sit on four points after edging Panama 1-0 and then producing a disciplined 0-0 draw against England. That match became one of the biggest talking points of the tournament after Ghanaian witch doctor Nana Kwaku Bonsam claimed he had cast a spell on Harry Kane before kick-off. While there is no evidence to support the claim, Kane's unusually quiet display and England's failure to score only fueled the conversation.
Ghana will now hope their football, not the folklore does the talking as they aim to book a place in the knockout stages.
