England enter their 2026 World Cup opener against Croatia as slight favorites, buoyed by an undefeated qualifying campaign that yielded eight wins and zero goals conceded under coach Thomas Tuchel. Recent March friendlies exposed vulnerabilities, including a 1-0 loss to Japan and a 1-1 draw with Uruguay at Wembley, though squad depth remains a core strength with options across midfield and attack. Croatia, still led by the experienced Luka Modric and a resilient midfield unit, face fitness concerns over key defenders like Josko Gvardiol while relying on tactical discipline and counter-attacking threat in a rematch of their 2018 semifinal clash. The neutral Texas venue levels home factors, but trader consensus reflects England’s superior resources tempered by Croatia’s proven ability to compete in major tournaments.
