Guadeloupe will face Guatemala at the Shell Energy Stadium on Tuesday in the final group-stage game of their 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup campaign. Les Gwada Boys have endured a poor showing on the continental stage this year and are on the verge of exiting the tournament as they need an extraordinary set of results on Tuesday to advance to the knockout stages.
They were beaten 2-1 by Jamaica in their last game, taking the lead in the first half via a Thierry Ambrose strike before their opponents came from behind to secure maximum points later in the half.
Guatemala, meanwhile, picked up a narrow and impressive 1-0 win over Jamaica on the opening day courtesy of an Oscar Santis strike. However, they lost by the same scoreline to Panama in their second group game and could have no complaints about the result after a flat performance at the Q2 Stadium.
Los Chapines now sit third in Group C with three points from two games and will advance to the knockout stages with maximum points on Tuesday provided Jamaica fail to win elsewhere.

Guadeloupe vs Guatemala Prediction
Guadeloupe are on a run of back-to-back defeats after going undefeated in their previous five outings. They are all but eliminated from the tournament but will be keen to get some points on the board this weekend.
Guatemala failed to impress in their most recent outing, managing just one shot on target all game. They are, however, the slightly better side heading into this one and should come out on top here.
