- Ghana’s best counter-attacking outlet is included in my goalscorer picks for Ghana vs Colombia

Ghana vs Colombia will collide on Friday, July 3, at 9:30 p.m. ET at Kansas City Stadium. Instead of targeting regular picks on the moneyline, I’ll focus my analysis and preferred best bets in the Ghana vs Colombia goalscoring props. These selections exploit defensive vulnerabilities, current form, and tactical alignments to extract World Cup soccer betting market value for bettors. Trying to find value in types of World Cup player props is a must for this clash.
As Colombia and Ghana prepare to clash in this pivotal knockout tie, I have a fascinating puzzle to solve in the anytime goalscorer markets. The South Americans arrive with an abundance of firepower, spearheaded by dynamic attackers like Luis Díaz, Cucho Hernández, and James Rodríguez, while Jaminton Campaz can be a valuable option coming off the bench and Daniel Muñoz offers value as a wide threat. They are exceptionally equipped to expose a Ghanaian defense that has looked disjointed and vulnerable throughout the group stages.
Conversely, the Black Stars will rely heavily on quick transitions and the individual brilliance of forwards like Iñaki Williams, Antoine Semenyo, and Abdul Fatawu to snatch a goal against a well-drilled Colombian structure. With the matchup dynamics heavily favoring Colombia, finding true betting value requires identifying the exact tactical mismatches.
Read on as I break down the board and highlight the best anytime goalscorer bets to target for this World Cup showdown.
Ghana vs Colombia: Best Anytime Goalscorer Picks
On the Ghana side, Caleb Yirenkyi represents the Black Stars’ most proven offensive threat. Having already found the back of the net in this World Cup, he offers a fantastic payout for bettors projecting a successful counter-attack.
When examining the tournament data, Daniel Muñoz also stands out as a high-value target for bettors. The Colombian defender leads his squad with two goals across three matches, making his +700 line incredibly appealing. Jaminton Campaz is another highly efficient option, scoring a goal in his single tournament appearance, though he’s not expected to start.
Caleb Yirenkyi Anytime Goal Scorer (+1567, Kalshi)
Backing any Ghanaian player to score against a formidable Colombian defense that conceded just one goal in three matches is daunting. However, Caleb Yirenkyi represents the best hope for the Black Stars.
Yirenkyi might be a defensive midfielder, but he’s a player worth watching due to his forward runs. The Midtjylland midfielder scored the game-winning goal against Panama and should play a sizable role once again while playing alongside Thomas Partey in midfield. He has one of Ghana’s two total tournament goals across his three appearances. If Carlos Queiroz’s side absorbs pressure and successfully launches a counter-attack, Yirenkyi will lead it. Taking a flyer on his odds is the premier way I plan to fade the chalk and invest in a potential Ghana breakthrough.
Daniel Muñoz Anytime Goal Scorer (+700, bet365)
SPORTSBOOK
While it is rare to target a defender in the anytime goalscorer market, Muñoz’s underlying tournament production justifies this wager. Muñoz currently leads the Colombian attack in scoring, having found the back of the net twice in three tournament appearances.
Operating with the freedom to push high up the pitch within Nestor Lorenzo’s system, Muñoz will exploit a Ghanaian defensive block that allowed two goals over their first three matches. At these odds, backing Colombia’s most prolific tournament scorer to clear this line is a tremendous value play for my card.
Jaminton Campaz Anytime Goal Scorer (+350, bet365)
If you are looking for pure efficiency, Campaz is the target. The Colombian forward has only made one appearance in this World Cup but made an immediate impact by scoring a header in the win over Uzbekistan. With Colombia heavily favored to dominate possession against a fading Ghanaian squad, Campaz presents a dangerous option to capitalize on high-danger chances inside the penalty area. His odds offer a solid return for a player who already proved he only needs a single opportunity to cash a ticket.

Ghana (4-4-2): Benjamin Asare; Marvin Senaya, Jonas Adjetey, Derrick Luckassen, Gideon Mensah; Thomas Partey; Kamaldeen Sulemana, Elisha Owusu, Caleb Yirenkyi, Antoine Semenyo; Jordan Ayew
