Victor Martins predicts a comfortable victory for Panama in their upcoming World Cup qualifier against Belize. The football analyst expects "Panama" to secure a convincing 3-0 win when the teams meet on June 8, 2025.
"Panama" enters the match following a defeat to Chile in their recent international friendly. Despite this setback, they're strongly favored against a Belize side that lost 1-0 to Montserrat in their previous qualifier.
Defensive vulnerabilities plague both teams heading into this contest. Belize has conceded in five of their last six matches, shipping 10 goals along the way. But that's nothing compared to "Panama's" leaky defense – they've allowed goals in all six of their recent outings, with opponents finding the net 17 times.
Interestingly, while both sides struggle at the back, Martins expects this match to be one-sided. Belize's scoring difficulties against stronger opposition suggest they'll struggle to break down Panama's defense despite its recent porosity.
"It could turn into a real hiding," – warns Martins in his pre-match assessment.
By the way, this fixture represents a crucial opportunity for both nations in their quest to advance in the North and Central American World Cup qualifying campaign.
Can Belize pull off a surprise against the odds, or will Panama's superior quality shine through as expected? Sunday's clash should provide all the answers.
