USA vs Guatemala Preview and Team News
USA Team News
Ranked 16th by FIFA, the USA have been in fine form throughout the tournament and come into this game on the back of a 2-2 draw with Costa Rica in the quarterfinal, which they won on penalties.
Mauricio Pochettino has instilled his style in the team, urging his men to focus on solid defending first before shifting to attack. As was seen during his tenure with Tottenham Hotspur and Paris Saint-Germain, the Argentine prefers short passes in the final third. He also encourages his wingers to play on the overlap.
Before facing Costa Rica, the USA had won all three group matches. So far, they’ve scored 10 goals and conceded just four in the tournament. Ahead of the encounter, the squad have no major absentees.
USA predicted lineup vs Guatemala (4-2-3-1): Freese; Freeman, Richards, Ream, Arfsten; Adams, de la Torre; Berhalter, Tillman, Luna; Agyemang.
Guatemala Team News
Guatemala, ranked 106th by FIFA, will have to play out of their skins to keep up with the USA in the upcoming clash. The absence of Nicholas Hagen, ruled out with a thigh injury, won’t help matters.
The team shocked the soccer world by defeating Canada on penalties in the quarterfinal after a 1-1 draw in regulation time. With their opponents reduced to ten men by a red card, Guatemala kept their wits until the very end to book a historic spot in the semifinals.

They usually like to play out from the back and focus on keeping a well-organized defensive structure. This approach allows them to wait and have some time on the ball before attempting a counterattack. Against Canada, they employed this tactic to good effect, controlling 58% of possession and completing 86% of their passes.
While it’ll take a lot from them to overcome the USA, Guatemala’s previous performances in this tournament – two wins and one defeat in the group stage – suggest that they’re far from being pushovers.
Guatemala predicted lineup vs USA (4-3-3): Navarro; Herrera, Pinto, Samayoa, Morales; Robles, Rosales, Munoz; Escobar, Rubin, Santis.
USA vs Guatemala Prediction
- Pick: USA to win
- Odds: -357 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: USA 3-0 Guatemala
The USA are heavy favorites to win this game. Pochettino knows better than to take Guatemala lightly, especially after watching their result against Canada. Still, his team’s superior attacking strengths should see them romp home comfortably.
The Guatemalans tend to keep the ball for long periods, which could backfire against a high-pressing side like the USA. Historically, the Americans have also had the upper hand, with four wins in their six head-to-head meetings.
USA vs Guatemala Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: USA to score the first goal
- Odds: -333 (20Bet)
We expect the USA to score the first goal, as they clearly have better attacking prospects. They’ve already netted ten goals across four fixtures in the competition and seem eager to push past the 15-goal mark.
As the team’s center forward, Agyemang will be expected to shoulder most of the goal-scoring duties. Still, he’ll have enough assistance from the likes of Luna, Tillman (three goals and one assist in this Gold Cup, with an xG of 2.32), and Berhalter, who ply their trade in attacking midfield and the wings.
Interestingly, the USA have scored the first goal in three of their four matches in this tournament.
