Panama vs USA Predictions

• USA opened their campaign with a 2-0 win over Bolivia.
• Panama have failed to score in three of their last six games.
• Christian Pulisic scored and assisted against Bolivia.

USA can claim knockout spot

USA face Panama in the second round of Copa America group games on Thursday and a win would see them qualify with a game to spare.

The host nation should be able to make the most of this chance against Panama, who have four defeats in their last six games.

A win for the Stars and Stripes to nil looks the best option after they shut Bolivia out in their opener. Panama were able to get on the scoresheet in a 3-1 loss to Uruguay but they scored with a last gasp effort after the game was already gone, and prior to that had drawn blanks in three of their last five games.

Another 2-0 win for the Americans appeals as Panama rarely take a beating and they have only conceded more than twice in two of their last 32 games, a run stretching back to a heavy defeat to Uruguay in 2022.

Christian Pulisic started the Copa America with a bang as he scored the USA’s opener against Bolivia then provided the assist for the second, and he can add to his tally against Panama on Thursday,
