Panama vs Guadeloupe Prediction and Betting Tips

Panama will face Guadeloupe at the Dignity Health Sports Park on Monday in the opening group-stage game of their 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup campaign. Los Canaleros will head into the continental showpiece with confidence after finishing runners-up in the CONCACAF Nations League back in March before picking up wins in their World Cup qualifying campaign earlier in the month.

They opened their Gold Cup campaign in 2023 with a 2-1 win over Costa Rica, ultimately making it all the way to the final before losing 1-0 to Mexico, and will hope they can hit similar heights in this year's edition.

Guadeloupe, meanwhile, participated in the preliminary round of the continental showpiece back in March, facing Nicaragua in a two-legged tie. They picked up a 1-0 win in their first-leg clash on home soil, with Florian David scoring the sole goal of the game before winning the second by the same scoreline, profiting from a Raphael Mirval strike this time around.

They picked up a surprise 2-2 draw against Canada in their group opener back in the 2023 Gold Cup and will be targeting a positive start to things here as well.

Panama vs Guadeloupe Prediction

Panama have won three of their last four games after winning just one of their previous seven and will head into their group opener with confidence.

Guadeloupe have also picked up good results ahead of Monday's game, winning their last four games on the trot and conceding just once in their last seven. They are, however, going up against a much stronger side on Monday and could open their Gold Cup campaign with a defeat.
