The CONCACAF Nations League match between Guadeloupe and Guatemala will take place at Red Bull Arena on Wednesday at 4:00 am IST.
On Tuesday, Guatemala and Guadeloupe have the opportunity to end their long absence from the knockout stage of the Gold Cup as they face each other at Red Bull Arena in the final group stage match. Guadeloupe took the lead in their group with a 4-1 victory over Cuba, while Guatemala managed to hold Canada to a goalless draw, securing a valuable point. Both teams will be determined to secure a win and advance to the next round after their positive performances over the weekend.
Guadeloupe’s impressive team performance has put them on the verge of reaching the Gold Cup knockout stage for only the second time in their history. A win or draw against Guatemala would secure their advancement, as they currently hold a goal difference of +3 compared to Guatemala’s +1. A victory on Tuesday would see Jocelyn Angloma’s team finish at the top of their group for the first time, accumulating their highest-ever total of seven points in the group stage. Guadeloupe’s four goals in their previous match were their highest in a single group game at the Gold Cup, surpassing their previous seven-game total. They have shown offensive improvement, scoring 13 goals in their last four matches, eight more than their tally from the previous year.
Guatemala’s defense stood strong against Canada, securing their second clean sheet in the Gold Cup. Keeping Guadeloupe scoreless would mark their first goalless group stage in the tournament and make them the fifth team this century to achieve that. A victory would send them to the quarter-finals for the first time since 2011. A point would give them their highest-ever group stage total, while goal difference would matter if they draw and Canada wins. Guatemala has allowed multiple goals in only one game since a 2-0 loss to French Guiana. They haven’t lost to a Caribbean nation in regulation time since November 2015.
Guadeloupe probable starting lineup: Rouyard, Alphonse, Lina, Avinel, Baron, Gravillon, Rotsen, Tell, Leborgne, Phaeton, Ambrose
Guatemala probable starting lineup: Hagen, Herrera, Pinto, Samayoa, Ardon, Castellanos, Saravia, Mendez-Laing, Galindo, Mejia, Lom
