Seeking to follow up on a pair of weekend winners at the World Cup, SlipsTips shares a selection ahead of England’s clash with Ghana on Tuesday night.
England vs Ghana (Tuesday, 21:00)
England return to action at the 2026 World Cup when they take on Ghana at Gillette Stadium in Boston on Tuesday night.
Thomas Tuchel’s side produced one of the standout performances of the opening round of group stage fixtures, overpowering Croatia in a 4-2 win.
As for Ghana, they left it late when scoring a 95th-minute winner to beat Panama 1-0.
I’ve already covered this clash in a separate Bet Builder article, but I’m now putting forward a player-based single that I think offers value.
The player in question is Thomas Partey, who has been priced up at 4/5 on bet365 to commit two or more fouls.
Partey was unable to feature against Panama after being denied entry to Canada, but he is back available for this clash.
The tough-tackling Ghanaian midfielder has long been a player who regularly finds himself on the referee’s radar.
That trait was on show during the Black Stars’ friendly fixtures in the build-up to the World Cup, with Partey committing multiple fouls against both Germany and Wales, picking up a yellow card in the latter of those two games.
While the 33-year-old spent much of the domestic campaign as a substitute for Villarreal, he did start away at Mallorca towards the end of the season, committing two fouls in that match.
Where this selection becomes even more appealing is the likelihood of Partey coming up against Elliot Anderson.
The England midfielder is highly effective at drawing fouls, something already evident at this World Cup, having been brought down twice against Croatia last time out.
What’s more, Anderson earned England multiple free kicks in two of the four matches he started during World Cup qualifying.
On top of that, Partey is also likely to cross paths with Jude Bellingham, who was drawing an average of 2.54 fouls per 90 across his five qualification appearances.
All things considered, the Ghana midfielder looks worth backing to commit two or more fouls in this contest at an attractive 4/5 with bet365.
