Panama U20 face Saudi Arabia U23in the Maurice Revello Tournament (Toulon Tournament)group stage on Friday at Parc des Sports in Avignon, France. This match is crucial for both teams as they look to advance from a competitive group featuring France and Mali.
Panama beat Mali in their opening game, whereas Saudi Arabia lost to France. Historically, these teams have not met often at this level, making this a relatively unpredictable matchup. Both sides will be eager to secure points, especially with tough fixtures against France and Mali also looming in the group.
Given Panama’s recent attacking form and Saudi Arabia’s defensive discipline, the match is likely to be closely contested, with a slight edge to Panama if they can break through early.

Team news & squads

Their attack has been productive, averaging two goals per match in their last five outings, while their defense has generally held firm, conceding just one goal per game on average.
Raheen Cuello and Gustavo Herrera scored in the first game and will be looking forward to adding to their tally. Jose Marengo will have to sit this one out due to his red card against Mali.
Panama’s style is built on quick transitions and set-piece efficiency, and they will be looking to capitalize on any defensive lapses from their opponents. With no injuries heading into the fixture, they will be confident of a win.
Saudi Arabia U23 team news

Their squad is slightly older and more experienced than Panama’s, and they have shown the ability to keep matches tight, conceding less than half a goal per game on average in their last five.
