Guatemala team news
Guatemala enter the match with a fully fit and available squad, giving head coach Luis Fernando Tena the freedom to name an unchanged lineup from the side that defeated Jamaica.
Óscar Santis, who netted his first Gold Cup goal in the opener, is expected to continue in the attacking midfield role, supported by a disciplined defensive unit that limited Jamaica to few clear chances.
There are no reported injuries or suspensions for Guatemala, and the team’s consistent selection and defensive organization have been the foundation of their recent progress. Tena’s men will look to stay compact and strike on the counter, as they did so effectively in their opening match.
Panama team news
Panama, under Thomas Christiansen, arrives with confidence after their explosive win over Guadeloupe, where Ismael Díaz starred with a brace and José Luis Rodríguez was a constant threat down the flank.
Panama's squad for this Gold Cup reflects a changing of the guard, as several experienced regulars—including Cecilio Waterman, José Fajardo, Adalberto Carrasquilla, and Harold Cummings—were left out, making way for emerging talent. There are no new injuries or suspensions reported, and Christiansen is likely to field a similar starting eleven.
