Panama vs. USMNT promises to be a spectacular matchup as the former is looking for a win while the latter will come for its second consecutive win. The Group C clash can see the US team second in the table with a 2-0 win in the opening game against Bolivia. On the other hand, Panama suffered a 3-1 loss to Uruguay in its first fixture, which it would like to rectify against the host nation.
The encounter is all set to take place at the Mercedez Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia where the majority crowd will come in to support Team USA. Meanwhile, it’s a do-or-die situation for Panama as another defeat would put the team on the verge of exit.

Panama vs. USMNT: Key Stats
Panama
The team’s right-back and Olympique Marseille’s player Michael Murillo is the one with the highest player rating of 7.85. He is the only one to find the back of the net during Panama’s 3-1 loss to Uruguay. Midfielder Freddy Gondola is the next in line as the second-best. He provided an assist to Murillo in the first game.
Moreover, Panama’s captain Anibal Godoy has been ruled out of the game as well as the Copa America, due to an injury. This is probably the biggest setback for the Central American team going into its second game of the group. Furthermore, the defense has been a big worry for them. In only one game, the defensive unit made nine fouls and conceded 20 shots. Despite having 23 clearances and four shots blocked, the team gave away three goals.
USMNT
Captain Christian Pulisic is leading USMNT from the front so far in Copa America 2024. With a goal and an assist in the opening game against Bolivia, Pulisic is first in the players’ rating with 8.66. Right behind him is the 22-year-old AS Monaco striker Folarin Balogun who also found the net in the first game at 8.37.
The 24-year-old Timothy Weah has been effective for Team USA. The Juventus midfielder also has an assist to his name. With such an attractive offense, USMNT’s defense looks solid as well. The team conceded only six shots against Bolivia and had only one shot to block in the entire game. With only eight fouls in 90 minutes, the backline has shown discipline thus far.
Panama vs. USMNT: Prediction
Interestingly, the last five meetings between the two teams have been more close than what people assume. USMNT has a narrow 3-2 lead over Panama in the previous five encounters. However, Panama must be confident while approaching the upcoming game as the team came out as winners the last time they faced Team USA. On the other hand, the Pulisic-led side has the home advantage and is in much better form.
The hosts have a better offense and defense compared to Panama and it should be an easy outing for the home team. Expect USMNT to cover the spread and the captain to perform once again.
Final Pick
Total Over 2.5 (-110) and Panama +1.5 (-140)
