Montserrat vs Panama Prediction and Betting Tips | June 11th 2024
Montserrat will face Panama at the Estadio Nacional de Futbol on Monday in another round of the FIFA 2026 World Cup qualifiers. The Emerald Boys had mixed results in the CONCACAF Nations League last year and will hope they can find better luck in the World Cup qualifiers this month.
However, they kicked off their group stage campaign on the wrong foot, suffering a 4-1 defeat to Nicaragua on Thursday and now find themselves rock-bottom in Group D.
Panama, meanwhile, finished fourth in the Nations League and are on the hunt for their second-ever FIFA World Cup appearance. They beat Guyana 2-0 in their last match, with substitutes Cristian Martinez and Jose Luis Rodriguez scoring a quickfire second-half double to hand Los Canaleros a much-deserved three points on home soil.
Following Monday's game, the visitors will face Paraguay in a friendly clash at the Estadio Rommel Fernández before kicking off their Copa America campaign against Uruguay later in the month.
Montserrat vs Panama Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- Monday's game will mark the first-ever meeting between Montserrat and Panama.
- The Emerald Boys are without a clean sheet in their last seven games across all competitions, a run dating back to last September.
- Panama have managed just one clean sheet in their last five games across all competitions.
- Montserrat have the worst defensive record in Group D so far with a goal concession tally of four.
- Los Canaleros were ranked 45th in the latest FIFA rankings and now sit 130 places above their midweek opponents.
Montserrat vs Panama Prediction
Montserrat have lost four of their last six games and have won just three of their last nine across all competitions. They have particularly struggled defensively of late and have a mountain to climb on Monday.
Panama are on a run of back-to-back unbeaten outings and have lost just two of their last 11 matches. The sheer gulf in class and quality between the two teams should see Los Canaleros come out on top here.
Prediction: Montserrat 1-3 Panama
