by Carlos Zabala in World Cup Picks
This is the final round of CONCACAF World Cup qualifying. Since Mexico, the United States, and Canada have already qualified as the host countries, the possibility of other Central American and Caribbean nations qualifying for football's biggest event increases.
This is the case for Guatemala, which shares a group with El Salvador, Suriname, and Panama. The Panamanian national team is the betting favorite to secure a direct ticket to the World Cup. However, the Guatemalan national team is gaining ground after reaching the semifinals of the last Gold Cup, where they eliminated Canada on penalties, drawing 1-1 in the 90 minutes of the quarterfinals after Rubin's goal.
On the first matchday of Group A, Guatemala hosts El Salvador in Guatemala City on the night at the Cementos Progreso Stadium. Despite their 1-1 friendly match on May 31, Guatemala has consistently outperformed El Salvador in official matches.
In the 2023 Nations League, Guatemala defeated El Salvador 2-0 in the last official match on Guatemalan soil.

Our Guatemala vs El Salvador Prediction
Among Guatemala's most notable players is Aaron Herrera, a starting defender for DC United. He hasn't had the best of seasons with the MLS club, but he did perform well when called up to his national team.
Another player who has been playing in MLS as a substitute is goalkeeper Nicholas Hagen; in April, he had a scandalous performance as Guatemala's goalkeeper against Panama.
Salvadoran authorities have made a considerable investment in infrastructure and talent to revive the former glory of the national soccer team. In that effort, they brought in coach Hernán Darío Gómez, who was successful with other national teams but who lacks almost any renowned players to help him.
Our prediction for Guatemala vs El Salvador is: Guatemala to win.
