CONCACAF Gold Cup Matchday 2 Picks

Costa Rica vs. Dominican Republic

Costa Rica have been in strong recent form against nations that they are closely ranked with. Overall, they have won four of their last five, and they could be within a win of qualification based on other results ahead of matchday two.

The Dominican Republic have been hard to beat this year, with their only loss before the start of the Gold Cup coming against Guatemala in World Cup qualification. But, they could come up short against a talented and tournament-proven rival this week.

Trinidad and Tobago vs. Haiti

Trinidad and Tobago will face an uphill challenge to make it out of Group D following an opening night showdown with the USA. Their form also raises questions after losing three of their last four internationals.

Haiti could surprise a few this summer, as they bid to make it out of the group stage for the second time in four editions. A win for Haiti could be an interesting angle worth following.

Jamaica vs. Guadeloupe

Jamaica will be widely expected to make it through the group stage at this summer’s Gold Cup. Their form this calendar year has been strong, having avoided defeat in their last eight internationals.

Guadeloupe are less proven at this level, having fallen in the group stage in each of the last two Gold Cups. In fact, they have won just one of their last nine matches at the competition.

Guatemala vs. Panama

Panama have been a consistent nation in the region, highlighted after reaching the CONCACAF Nations League final earlier this year. However, they have suffered defeats in six of their last eleven international matches.

Guatemala’s form is also questionable, and their shortcomings were evident following a poor showing against Jamaica before the start of the Gold Cup. Therefore, Panama should have the ability to get maximum points in the second matchday clash.

Honduras vs. El Salvador

El Salvador have been a difficult nation to beat across the last 12 months, evident after losing just once of their last five. However, over the same period, they have recorded just a single win.

Honduras are more proven at this level, and their confidence will be high after winning their last four internationals. Honduras have also made it out of the group stage in all but three of the editions since 2005.
