USA and Panama meet in a crucial World Cup qualifier at the Exploria Stadium in Orlando. The home team are on in second position on the table with 22 points while the visitors are in fifth position with 19 points. The USA can book their ticket to Qatar with victory in this match. Fourth placed Costa Rica may be able to catch the USA but they have a much worse goal difference. The USA team will be disappointed with their goalless draw in their last match against Mexico as they created plenty of chances but failed to score. The USA have only lost once in their last eight matches with that defeat coming against group leaders Canada. They have an excellent home record in the qualifiers and are unbeaten in their six matches, winning the last five in a row. USA have only conceded two goals in these six matches.

Panama are four points behind the automatic qualifying positions but their more realistic target should be fourth place as this would take them to the playoff competition. They are just one point behind Coast Rica who currently occupy fourth spot. Panama have won just one of their last four matches and face an uphill task taking on the USA who are unbeaten at home. They visitors have lost their last two away matches and another defeat in this match could see their chances of qualifying disappear. Panama have an extremely difficult end to their qualifying campaign playing the USA and ending with a match against group leaders Canada.
