Panama and Croatia are meeting for the first time. Croatia have lost seven of their last 10 World Cup matches against teams from the Americas (W2 D1), while their only clean sheet in that time came in a 3-0 win against Argentina in 2018.

Panama have lost each of their four FIFA World Cup matches, scoring just two goals in total in the process. Ahead of matchday two of this tournament, only El Salvador possess a worse 100% losing record in the competition’s history (six games).
