Panama vs Nicaragua prediction
Panama will be confident of going really far in qualifying this time around without the big three involved and their form up until this stage has been really strong. They have won their last three matches and crucially are unbeaten in their last 18 World Cup qualifying matches on home soil.
They welcome Nicaragua for this dead rubber but both teams will want to put something of a marker down. The visitors have won all three of their matches so far and have the better goal difference.
Panama have a formidable record against Nicaragua in recent times having won seven of their last nine meetings. With their home form so strong, we favour them to get another win here too.
