Guadeloupe and Guatemala face off at the Red Bull Arena in Harrison, United States, on Tuesday (July 4) at the 2023 CONCACAF Gold Cup.
Both teams have four points in two games in Group B, but Guadeloupe sit in first position ahead of Guatemala courtesy of goal difference.
Guadeloupe began their campaign with a 2-2 draw with hosts Canada, where the Gwada Boys were the beneficaries of a 93rd-minute own goal from Jacen Russell-Rowe.
In their next game, Jocelyn Angloma's side smashed Cuba 4-1 in a lopsided game. Matthias Phaeton struck twice on either side of a goal from Ange Freddy Plumain as Guadeloupe led 3-0 before the break. Anthony Baron added a fourth six minutes into the restart before Arichel Hernandez pulled one back for the Lions of the Caribbean from the spot.
Meanwhile, Guatemala beat Cuba 1-0 in their opener, with Darwin Lom scoring the only goal of the game in the 48th minute. The Chapines then drew goalless to Canada in their next outing.
As things stand, both teams are heading into the next round, but a draw could complicate things, as it would provide Canada a chance to sneak into the top two. It would be the same if any team loses, as the Maple Leafs are just two points behind.
