Why Belize Can Beat Guatemala
Belize is ranked 176th among men's teams according to the FIFA world rankings. The Unbelizeables however sit at the bottom of League B Group D. They have a 0-1-3 record, acquiring one point and scoring just one goal.
In three friendlies last year, Belize had a 1-1 draw to Nicaragua in February. They lost 4-0 to Nicaragua in January 2022 and 3-0 to Cuba in March 2022. In four Nations League games, the Jaguars lost to the Dominican Republic, Guatemala, and in its most recent outing to French Guiana in mid-June. The home team is winless in their last eight matches and is one of the weakest sides in the CONCACAF confederation.
For David Perez Asensio's side, they will rely on the heroics of their standouts. Deon McCaulay will look to add to his 63 caps and 28 goals for Belize. Carlos Bernardez and Angelo Cappello are also serviceable forwards while Norman Anderson, Krisean Lopez, Nana Mensah, and Darrell Myvett will provide value in the midfield. Evral Trapp, Horace Avila, Donell Arzu, and Deshawon Nembhard are also quality defenders for Belize. Charles Tillett will likely get the nod at the goalkeeping post.
Goalies Isaac Castillo and Earl Dyck are the only uncapped members for Belize.
Why Guatemala Can Beat Belize
Guatemala is ranked 119th in the FIFA World Rankings. They have seven points in this tourney thanks to their 2-1-1 record, scoring five goals and conceding three.
Guatemala had a 6-2-4 record in 12 friendly and competitive matches last year. Bouts with Cuba, Haiti, El Salvador, Belize, Dominican Republic, and Nicaragua resulted in victories, scoring 14 goals in those games. Los Chapines notched draws with Mexico and the Dominican Republic. Guatemala's sole loss in the Nations League was against French Guiana, while in friendly games, they were defeated by Colombia, Honduras, and Qatar.
