Key issues to watch
Panama vs England
England are in a strong position, but the final group match still matters for first place and the Round-of-32 path. Panama may be under pressure, but a disciplined low block can make the early minutes uncomfortable if England rotate heavily.
Croatia vs Ghana
Croatia vs Ghana is one of the most important survival matches of the day. With the expanded 48-team format, points are not the only factor; goal difference and goals scored can decide the third-place comparison.
Colombia vs Portugal
Colombia vs Portugal is the headline match of Group K. Portugal bring individual quality and finishing power, while Colombia can challenge through pressure, transitions and set pieces. A single goal could change the group order.
DR Congo vs Uzbekistan
DR Congo vs Uzbekistan is a practical qualification battle. Uzbekistan’s organization and quick passing meet DR Congo’s physicality and front-foot pressure. Late attacking substitutions are likely if either side needs a goal.
Jordan vs Argentina
Argentina enter the final match as the stronger side, but rotation, fitness and avoiding injuries are part of the story. Jordan can look for a compact defensive shape and counterattacks to create an upset chance.
Algeria vs Austria
Algeria vs Austria may decide the second-place picture in Group J. Austria’s pressing and transitions face Algeria’s wide attacking threat, and the match can become more open late if the standings demand goals.
