Panama’s Resurgence vs. El Salvador’s Stumble
Key Stats
– El Salvador have been winless in seven consecutive games, struggling to score more than one goal in all of their matches in 2023.
– Despite conceding late goals, Panama have successfully won both of their opening matches 2-1 in the 2023 Gold Cup.
On a decisive Tuesday, Panama are pitted against El Salvador at PNC Stadium for the concluding group stage match of the 2023 Gold Cup. A must-win situation for El Salvador, while Panama find themselves comfortably placed in the quarter-finals following a 2-1 victory against Martinique in the previous match.
El Salvador, on the other hand, were left frustrated with a solitary point after two matches, having drawn 0-0 with Costa Rica. Panama are showing signs of a comeback in this tournament, clinching the first two group fixtures, a feat last achieved in 2019.

Lessons Learned, Success Earned
Panama have come close to defeating Honduras two years ago, only to lose due to a couple of swift strikes in the second half. However, it seems that the Panama team under Thomas Christiansen’s command has learned their lessons well. They’ve adopted a strategic approach, scoring an extra goal in each of their initial two group fixtures. Although they conceded stoppage-time goals in both games, they emerged victorious with 2-1 wins.
Panama’s journey post their 2022 World Cup elimination has been remarkable. The team remained unbeaten against any CONCACAF nation when they were the ones to score first, only drawing once in a friendly against Guatemala.
A Regressing El Salvador
In contrast, El Salvador’s recent performances have been less than impressive. Despite having had a strong 2021 Gold Cup campaign and making it to the final stage of World Cup qualifying for only the second time this century, the team seems to have lost its form. They have failed to score more than one goal in all their matches this year under Hugo Perez’s coaching.
El Salvador have a mountain to climb. They need to win this match and hope for Costa Rica to either lose or draw against Martinique to secure a place in the quarter-finals of the tournament. This is an uphill task for a team that has been winless in seven consecutive matches.
The Predictions and Justifications
Now let’s delve into the predictions. Our main prediction is for Panama to win with Both Teams to Score. This is well-justified given Panama’s tactical change that has seen them score an insurance marker in each of their opening two Gold Cup group fixtures. Despite conceding stoppage-time goals, they have managed to pull off 2-1 victories, showing their ability to hold the lead.
We also suggest a correct score prediction of 2-1 for Panama. Panama’s impressive performance against Martinique, and their record of not losing an encounter versus a CONCACAF nation when scoring the opening goal gives them a solid chance to hit that scoreline. El Salvador, on the other hand, have struggled to find the net, which makes a high scoreline unlikely for them.
For Panama, securing a win or even a draw would ensure their place in the semi-finals, a significant achievement for them. However, El Salvador’s poor form and their record of not having defeated a Central American side since late January 2022 places them at a disadvantage.
Christiansen is likely to continue with his winning lineup with minimal changes, while Perez may be compelled to rethink his strategy given El Salvador’s current form.
