Panama already know their World Cup is finished. Croatia saw to that, and a tournament that started with such hope ends with a dead rubber. So when they walk out at MetLife Stadium on Saturday 27 June, there is nothing left to chase but pride, and a reckoning with the side that put six past them last time.
England have the opposite worry. Win this final Group L game and they top the table, earning the softer knockout route that comes with first place. Kick-off in East Rutherford, New Jersey is 10pm BST. Below are the main Panama vs England betting odds, an explanation of what each market means, and the prices currently up at 7bet.
Panama vs England – Betting Odds
This is one of the more lopsided ties of the World Cup 2026 group stage, with England a short price and Panama a big one.
1X2 Betting Odds
The 1X2 market is the one most people start with. You are backing one of three results across the 90 minutes and any added stoppage time, but not extra time. The “1” is the first team listed (in this case, Panama), the “X” is the draw, and the “2” is the second team listed (England).
The odds tell you how likely the bookmaker thinks each result is, and what you would get back: shorter prices mean a more likely outcome and a smaller return, longer prices a less likely outcome and a bigger return.
With Panama already out and England chasing top spot, the current Panama vs England odds for the result are about as one-sided as this market gets.
| Panama win (1) | Draw (X) | England win (2) |
| 13/1 | 6/1 | 2/13 |
Double Chance Odds
Double chance lets you cover two of those three results with a single bet.
There are three options here too: “1X” backs the first team to win or the draw, “12” backs either team to win and only loses if the game ends in a draw, and “X2” backs the draw or the second team to win. Because each option covers two outcomes instead of one, you win more often and the price drops to reflect that.
You can see the safety net at work in the numbers. Backing England or the draw together is priced so short it is barely worth the slip, while Panama or the draw pays far more, because both of those results would be a genuine surprise.
These are the current Panama vs England odds across the three double chance options:
| 1X – Panama or draw | 12 – Panama or England | X2 – Draw or England |
| 11/4 | 1/12 | 1/33 |
Handicap Betting Odds
Handicap betting exists to make a mismatch like this one interesting again. The bookmaker gives one team a virtual head start and the other a virtual deficit, then settles the bet on that adjusted score instead of the real one.
A minus figure means goals are taken away from a team, so England -1.5 only wins if England win by two goals or more. A plus figure means goals are added, so Panama +1.5 wins if Panama lose by a single goal, draw, or win outright. Half-goal lines like 1.5 always produce a clear winner, because a final score can never land on half a goal.
Whole-number lines behave a little differently. On the 2-goal handicap, if England win by exactly two, the adjusted score finishes level and your stake is simply handed back, which is known as a push.
| Panama +1.5 | England –1.5 |
| 6/4 | 1/2 |
| Panama +2 | England –2 |
| 10/11 | 10/13 |
Both Teams to Score (BTTS) Odds
Both Teams to Score is a market that completely ignores who wins. The only thing that matters here is if both teams will score at least one goal. “Yes” needs both teams to score, so the lowest scoreline that pays out is 1-1. A “No” wins the moment one team is kept off the scoresheet, which covers results like 1-0, 2-0, or 0-0.
This market does not care about the gap between the teams, only whether both of them find the net. That makes it tempting when you expect a one-sided game but still fancy the underdog to grab a consolation goal. For Panama and England the two prices suggest the bookmaker is not convinced Panama will manage to score.
| Yes | No |
| 9/8 | 7/11 |
Goal Total (Over/Under) Odds
Over/Under is another market that has nothing to do with the result. Here the bookmaker sets a line for the total number of goals in the match, and you bet on whether the real total finishes above or below it.
For this game the line is set at 3.5 goals. Over 3.5 needs four or more goals across both teams combined. Under 3.5 wins if the match produces three goals or fewer.
The half-goal line means there is no chance of a tie or a refund here, since you cannot score half a goal. A line set as high as 3.5 also tells you something on its own. The bookmaker is braced for goals, which fits a fixture where England are expected to dominate and Panama have very little left to protect.
Remember: You can choose other lines as well, like 1.5, 2.5 or 4.5 – each one will have its own prices.
| Over 3.5 goals | Under 3.5 goals |
| 21/20 | 20/29 |

Correct Score Odds
Correct score is the boldest of the common markets and usually the most rewarding when it comes off. Instead of betting on a result or a goal total, you are calling the exact final scoreline.
There are dozens of plausible outcomes in any match, so even a likely-looking score carries long odds, and getting the winner right while missing the score by a single goal still loses the whole bet.
Given how short England are, the popular picks lean heavily towards a comfortable England win rather than a tight finish. The table below features a handful of popular scorelines for this match, but you can back any result you like.
| 0–0 | 1–1 | 1–2 England | 1–3 England |
| 15/2 | 13/1 | 9/1 | 10/1 |
