In Paramaribo, the Panamanian national team was the favorite at -131 to beat Suriname in Group A of the final CONCACAF qualifying round, but ended up drawing 0-0. A surprising result, but not as surprising as what happened in Guatemala City, where Guatemala lost to El Salvador, complicating their qualifying group from the start.
On Monday, at the Rommel Fernández Stadium, a packed house is expected to watch Panama-Guatemala, which looks set to be the most important match of the group.
The Panamanian national team, led by Christiansen, the Spanish coach, is inevitably forced to qualify through CONCACAF, behind Mexico, the USA, and Canada, which automatically qualify for the World Cup as the host nations. Panama is the highest-ranked nation in the region by FIFA, occupying the 30th position worldwide.
After Panama's unprecedented qualification for the 2018 World Cup in Russia, they failed to qualify for the World Cup in Qatar. However, Panama's growth is notable; for the 2024 Copa América, they beat the USA in Atlanta and repeated the feat by eliminating the USA from the CONCACAF Nations League in the semifinals.

Our Panama vs Guatemala Prediction
The Surinamese national team can be deceptive, as many of their players play in European leagues. Therefore, a draw in Paramaribo could be acceptable for Panama if they manage to win at home on Monday.
Carrasquilla of Mexico's Pumas, Murillo of France's Marseille, Godoy of San Diego of the MLB, and Ismal Díaz of León of Liga MX are some notable players from the Panamanian national team who will be looking to win on Monday. Díaz, with his club in Liga MX, is on a three-game scoring streak.
In a noteworthy development, in the same stadium where they will play on Monday, Panama managed to beat Guatemala 3-0 in the 2023 Nations League.
Our prediction for Panamá vs Guatemala is: Panamá -1.5.
