Prediction
Looking at these two teams, we feel that United States are likely to be able to create a high number of chances and successful shots on target.
Conversely, Guatemala are also probably going to find it difficult getting goals but we do think it’s quite likely that they will be converting at least once here, too.
We therefore think that it’s going to be a controlled 3-1 winning margin for United States at full-time.
