El Salvador vs Guatemala prediction

El Salvador come into this one on the back of a slender 1-0 defeat to Panama at home at Estadio Cuscatlan the other day due to a 55th minute winner scored by Jose Fajardo. El Salvador have managed one victory with two defeats in their three matches so far, scoring twice and conceding three times in those games.

Guatemala, on the other hand, have drawn twice and lost one as they sit bottom of Group A in the third round of CONCACAF qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Guatemala were leading Panama the other day before conceding an equaliser in second-half stoppage-time.

Both of these teams are steady and stubborn and they would be deemed as evenly matched with a low-scoring encounter to be expected for the clash in El Salvador.
