Football Livescore | Match Prediction & Tips
----------------------------
The USA, hosting the tournament, are close to reaching the Gold Cup final after advancing to the semi-finals. They will face Guatemala, who also advanced through a penalty shootout, in a crucial match in St. Louis.
Team Analysis:
The USMNT moved closer to reclaiming the CONCACAF Gold Cup after a tough quarter-final win over Costa Rica, advancing on penalties following a 2-2 draw. Despite missing key players, the U.S. maintained their strong Gold Cup record, reaching the semi-finals once again.
Meanwhile, Guatemala, content with their unexpected run, reached the semis by edging past Canada on penalties, marking their best recent performance. Though underdogs, they face a challenging semi-final against the U.S., a team they’ve struggled against in past meetings.
Player Situation:
The US team, missing key players due to injuries and other commitments, has relied on new talents like Malik Tillman and Patrick Agyemang upfront, with Max Arfsten and Diego Luna contributing significantly. Johnny Cardoso remains doubtful, so Tyler Adams and Luca de la Torre are expected to control the midfield. Veteran Tim Ream is likely to start in defense ahead of goalkeeper Matt Freese.
Guatemala, reaching their first Gold Cup semi-final since 1996, will feature several players based in the U.S., including defender Aaron Herrera and striker Rubio Rubin, while goalkeeper Nicholas Hagen is out, with Kenderson Navarro stepping in.
Result Prediction:
Despite a weakened lineup, the USA have improved during the tournament and are expected to reach the final, while underdog Guatemala, with limited wins, are likely to be eliminated.
Predicted Result: USA 2-1 Guatemala.
