It's crunch time in the CONCACAF World Cup qualification groups, with Panama and El Salvador firmly still in the running for a place at next year's tournament. The two sides meet at The Cuscatlán this week, in a game that will go a long way towards deciding both teams' fate.
El Salvador come into the contest off the back of a dismal 1-2 home defeat against Suriname, but thanks to a 0-1 win in Guatemala in their opening group game, they are one point ahead of Panama, who have drawn their opening two group games. However, both sides trail group leaders Suriname, who have picked up four points from their opening two matches
With just one automatic qualification place on offer in the four-team group and four rounds of fixtures to go, this week's games are absolutely pivotal in the race for a World Cup spot.

Our El Salvador vs Panama Prediction
These are two very evenly matched teams, and given what's at stake, we expect this to be a cagey encounter.
Panama probably have the edge in terms of squad quality and are certianly in better form, but El Salvador's home advantage swings the contest slightly in their favour.
We're not expecting this to be a high scoring game, so the 0-0 draw is certainly a possibility, but we are going to hedge our bets and take the 3.50 on the match finishing in a draw.
Our prediction for El Salvador vs Panama is: Draw.
