El Salvador and Guatemala are set to meet at Estadio Cuscatlan in an important Group A match of the Concacaf 2026 World Cup Qualifiers. Both teams need points to keep their hopes alive for a spot in the World Cup in the United States, Mexico, and Canada.
El Salvador is currently in third place in the group with three points, having won one game and lost two. On the other hand, Guatemala has two points from two draws and one loss, still in search of their first victory in this round.
Group A is led by Suriname and Panama, each with five points, which means El Salvador and Guatemala are trailing behind. According to the Concacaf qualification rules, only the top team from each group qualifies automatically, while the two best second-placed teams move on to a playoff. This makes tonight’s game crucial for both teams, as they cannot afford to lose more points.
