USA vs Guatemala Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Concacaf Gold Cup 2025 semi-final

The Yanks came up with a dominating performance against Guatemala when these sides last met.

The United States Men’s National Soccer Team are all set to lock horns with the Guatemala national football team in the 2025 Concacaf Gold Cup semi-final. The high-stakes contest between the two teams will take place at the Energizer Park.

Mauricio Pochettino-led United States Soccer Team are coming in after securing a win over the Costa Rica national football team in their quarterfinal fixture of the Concacaf Gold Cup. It was a close game, and the USA came out on top in the penalties. The hosts do need to work on their defence a bit, which is likely to help them going forward.

The Guatemala national football team are also coming in after securing a win in the penalties. The scores were tied at the end of full time after Guatemala scored an equaliser in the 70th minute. The visitors will have to come up with a better attacking rate as they take on the USA next. It is going to be a tough outing for them.

Players to Watch

Malik Tillman (USA)

The PSV Eindhoven midfielder is going to play an important role for the United States Men’s National Soccer Team yet again. Despite being a midfielder, Malik Tillman is the top goal-getter for the USA in the Gold Cup this time around. He is good at controlling the midfield and can score goals, hence he can be a problem for the opponent’s defence.

Olger Escobar (Guatemala)

The 18-year-old midfielder can also play as a winger for his team. Olger Escobar is going to play a crucial part in the attacking front for his side. He is also a part of CF Montreal in the MLS. Escobar will be coming in with confidence, which will surely help him perform better against the USA.
