Panama vs Canada match preview
The second edition of the CONCACAF Nations League Finals gets underway here and, with the region’s dominant forces meeting in the other semi-final, what an opportunity this is for both to reach a final.
2022 will always be a momentous year for the Canadian men’s national team, ending their 36-year wait to qualify for the World Cup, actually finishing top of the Octagonal round table.
In Qatar, John Herdman’s team did lose all three matches, but that’ll be an invaluable learning expirence ahead of the next World Cup, which Canada will be co-hosting of course.
Now, the Canucks are desperate to end their 23-year wait for major silverware, with two opportunities to achieve this during the summer.
Here, les Rouges will make their debut in the Nations League Finals, following wins over Curaçao and Honduras in March that saw them pip La H to top spot in the group.
After this, they’ll be amongst the favourites at the Gold Cup, facing a prelim winner, Guatemala and Cuba in a weak group.
Panama are, without doubt, the rank-outsiders of the four-team field, dreaming of winning major silverware for the very first time, previously beaten in the Gold Cup Finals of 2005 and 2013.
To get here, los Canaleros did upset the odds in the group phase, finishing above Costa Rica, courtesy of a 1-0 victory in San José last time out, with José Fajardo the late match-winner.
Nevertheless, Thomas Christiansen’s team come into this tie as massive underdogs to advance.
Who will book their place in the Nations League Final with victory at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas?
Panama team news
Panama faced Nicaragua in a friendly on Sunday, prevailing 3-2 in Penonomé with a mix-and-match XI.
Here, sticking with the 3-4-3, Thomas Christiansen might, more or less, revert to the team that beat Costa Rica to get here.
Alberto Quintero and AnÃbal Godoy, who have 256 caps between them, will both bring expirence to the midfield
Striker Cecilio Waterman, who’s scored all eight of his international goals in the last 24 months, will lead the line.
Predicted XI (3-4-3): MejÃa; Cummings, Escobar, Andrade; Murillo, Carrasquilla, Godoy, Welch; Quintero, DÃaz, Waterman.
Canada team news
John Herdman’s squad features a few superstars, none more so than Alphonso Davies, who is set to start, despite having not featured for Bayern Munich since 22 April due to injury.
He’ll be deployed as a left-wing-back with Cyle Larin and Jonothan David, who’ve scored 28 and 24 international goals respectively, leading the attack.
40 year old captain Atiba Hutchinson will start in midfield, dreaming of lifting major international silverware for the very first time, two decades on from his senior debut.
Alongside, Ismaël Koné, who was born five months after Hutchinson’s debut, is one to watch, having joined Watford from CF Montréal for $10 million earlier this year.
Predicted XI (3-5-2): Borjan; Johnston, Vitória, Miller; Buchanan, Eustáquio, Hutchinson, Kone, Davies; David, Larin.
