Panama will host El Salvador in a crucial World Cup qualifying match this Tuesday. The two teams have taken very different paths through their group so far. Panama enters unbeaten in Group A, having recorded two wins and three draws. They are riding a run of consistent results: a recent 3-2 win at Guatemala (with a brace by forward Cecilio Waterman and a goal by José Fajardo) and a 1-1 home draw against the same opponent, on top of earlier draws of 0-0 and 1-1 with Suriname, plus a 1-0 victory at San Salvador.
These results have left Panama on 9 points, level at the top of the group and still in contention for direct qualification. In those matches Panama has shown a solid defense (only 4 goals conceded in five games) and the ability to grind out results both home and away.
El Salvador's form has been much weaker. The Salvadorans have only 3 points from five matches, with one win and four losses. Their sole victory was 1-0 at home against Guatemala (Guatemala's only defeat of the campaign), but they have since lost heavily. In November they suffered a damaging 4-0 loss at Suriname and a 1-0 loss at Panama (in a match where Panama took the lead in the second half).

Our Panama vs El Salvador Prediction
El Salvador's four losses have come against all the other group opponents, leaving them eliminated from contention. Defensively they have been vulnerable (8 goals conceded so far) and have not managed to score much beyond their single one-goal win. Overall, Panama's recent form is markedly stronger – unbeaten in five with crucial points – while El Salvador has struggled badly and looks set to finish bottom of the group.
Panama's recent success has been driven by a few standout contributors. Forward Cecilio Waterman is a key attacker – he scored twice in the win at Guatemala and has been involved in most of Panama's goals during the qualifiers. Teammate José Fajardo also made an impact by scoring the decisive goal in that same game. Midfielders like Adalberto Carrasquilla and Amir Murillo have supplied service and energy, but it's Panama's forward line that has made the difference.
El Salvador's top performers are harder to identify on the scoresheet given their struggles, but veteran midfielder Darwin Cerén (the team captain) has been a steady presence and goalkeeper Mario González has made a few key saves despite the heavy goals against him. In head-to-head play, Panama has the edge: Panama won the earlier fixture 1-0 in San Salvador, and El Salvador's defense has not held well. Our prediction for Panama vs. El Salvador: Over 2.5 goals.
