In this CONCACAF Nations League fixture, Guatemala host El Salvador. Both teams were last in action in this competition on 26 Sep and picked up contrasting results: Guatemala lost 2-3, while El Salvador won 3-1. So this is a game where the hosts want to set the record straight on their own ground, while the visitors want to keep the momentum they have just built. Guatemala come in in the worst possible shape, on a losing run, with their latest outing in this competition a 2-3 defeat after conceding first. Their defensive problems are clear to see. El Salvador are different: unbeaten in their last couple and fresh off a 3-1 win in this competition, even though they lost 0-3 in a friendly on 5 Jul. If El Salvador sit deep as a block and wait to counter as they did last time out, Guatemala will find it hard to break them down, because the trend of this game points to the visitors not needing to open up and trade blows, and there is a high chance it finishes with little between the sides.
