El Salvador vs Trinidad and Tobago Prediction
La Selecta have struggled recently and are winless in their last 10 games in all competitions. They are winless in their last five home games as well and might struggle here. They are winless in their last four home meetings against the visitors, which is a cause for concern.
The Soca Warriors have been in good touch recently and, excluding the Gold Cup matches, they are unbeaten in their last three away games while also keeping clean sheets.
Considering the current form of the two sides, we expect the visitors to record a comfortable win and the odds of a clean sheet also look good.
