THE TEAM NEWS

GUYANA

  • Guyana’s debut match at the Gold Cup ended as expected in defeat as the USA showed the gulf in class during their 4-0 victory but they will hope to fare better in this contest.
  • They went in at the break 1-0 down but had no answer to the Americans' pressure in the second half as their opponents went on to add three more goals.
  • The expectations are low with Guyana being the lowest ranked nation at the finals and they would be delighted just to get off the mark with their first goal during this encounter.

PANAMA

  • Panama put themselves in with an excellent chance of making the quarter-finals as they got their tournament off to a winning start with a 2-0 victory against Trinidad and Tobago courtesy of second-half goals from Armando Cooper and Edgar Barcenas.
  • The win against Trinidad and Tobago means that they would be able to secure their place in the quarter-finals with a win against Guyana if the USA also defeat Trinidad and Tobago in their encounter.
  • With no suspensions or injuries reported after their opening match, any changes the coach makes will be through choice.

THE PREDICTION

Panama won a crucial encounter against Trinidad and Tobago in the opening round of matches and are in a strong position to secure their place in the quarter-finals for the eighth consecutive time at the CONCACAF Gold Cup. Tournament newcomers Guyana were comfortably beaten by the USA in their opening match and it is unlikely that they will have the quality to deny Panama a second victory of the campaign.
