Panama vs Guadeloupe: CONCACAF Gold Cup Prediction (17.06.2025)

On Tuesday, June 17 at 06:00 WIB, the national teams of Panama and Guadeloupe will face off at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California, in the first round of Group C of the 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup. This group also includes Guatemala and Jamaica.

In the Panama vs Guadeloupe match-up, bookmakers highlight a clear favorite. A bet on the “Red Tide” to win is offered at low odds of 1.23, a draw at 6.35, and a Guadeloupe victory at 12.50. The match is expected to be fairly high-scoring: the total over 2.5 goals is priced at 1.63. Bets on both teams to score are offered at 2.32, indicating that goals are primarily expected from the favored team.

Panama

It can’t be said that Thomas Christiansen coaches a star-studded team, but Panama did reach the final of the last CONCACAF Nations League, beating the USA 1–0 in the semifinals before losing 1–2 to Mexico in the final. They are also performing confidently in the second round of 2026 World Cup qualification, currently topping their group.

The team’s biggest stars play in defense: Michael Murillo from Marseille and Jose Cordoba from Norwich City. The attacking lineup is frequently rotated. The coaching staff selects forwards based on the quality of the opponents facing the “Red Tide.”

Guadeloupe

Jocelyn Angloma coaches a team that doesn’t have overly ambitious tournament goals. “Les Gwada Boys” fluctuate between League A and B in the CONCACAF Nations League. However, the team pulled off a small surprise by defeating Nicaragua twice 1–0 in the Gold Cup qualifiers. Their defensive line performed unexpectedly well. It’s worth noting that their defenders play for European clubs: Jerome Roussillon from Union Berlin, Zoran Moko from Dijon, and Dimitri Cavaré from Umraniyespor. While there are no stars in the lineup, with solid organization and a bit of luck, Guadeloupe is occasionally capable of surprises.

Stats and Head-to-Head Record

Over the past decade and a half, the teams have not met in official matches, as they compete at different levels.

Prediction

Following their success in the CONCACAF Nations League, Panama is justifiably seen as the favorite in their group and at the Gold Cup. However, the team rarely wins by large margins, even against weaker opponents. Considering Guadeloupe’s ability to occasionally put in a solid defensive performance, the recommended bet is a combination: Panama to win and total goals under 3.5 at odds of 1.95.
