USA vs Guatemala Prediction and Match Preview

USA managed to beat Costa Rica in the penalties in their quarter finals of Gold Cup. It wasn’t an easy game for them but the end result went in the favor of the team. They are now on a four-match winning run in the campaign and is yet to record a result other than a win this Gold Cup.

The team will host Guatemala in the semi-finals and the guests also won in the penalties against Canada. It was their third win in four Gold Cup games and the exception game in that run was a 0-1 loss against Panama.

Moving on, USA have a big edge when counting the head-to-head as they have lost just once in the history of this clash. Also, they haven’t lost a single match against Guatemala in their 14 clashes with USA having the hosting edge. In fact, they won 13 of those 14 matches and have won all the Gold Cup matches against Guatemala.

Who will win the match between USA vs Guatemala?

The strong head-to-head against Guatemala is a big factor to back them in this game. Additionally, USA have won all the four Gold Cup matches played so far this season. Meanwhile, Guatemala have lost one of their four Gold Cup matches. Also, Guatemala have lost all the Gold Cup matches against USA in the past. Thus, we expect USA to secure a strong win against Guatemala on Thursday.

How many goals can be expected?

We expect goals in this match. In USA’s last five home matches, over 2.5 goals were scored. Also, USA attack alone scored 19 goals in their last five home matches against Guatemala. So, a game with lots of goals looks likely here.

Will Both Teams Score in the match?

Five of USA’s last six home matches had both teams scoring. Also, Guatemala scored goals in all their away matches this Gold Cup season. Based on that, we predict a USA win with both teams scoring.

USA vs Guatemala Prediction

USA is likely to end up getting a comfortable win on Thursday. However, we don’t expect a complete one-sided match as Guatemala have scored goals in all their Gold Cup away matches this season. In that case, we like to start with USA to win and both teams to score as the main pick.

Over 3.5 goals will be our second option considering USA’s attack which have scored many goals in their latest matches against Guatemala. Additionally, USA have played two over 3.5 goal games in their four Gold Cup matches this season. We would also like to back Malik Tilman to score anytime as he scored three goals and made one assist in his four Gold Cup games for USA.
