Guatemala vs Cuba Prediction & Pick
Guatemala and Cuba aren't strangers to each other, but this rivalry has been one-sided in recent years. Guatemala has won each of the last four matchups between these countries, shutting out the Cubans in each contest. In fact, it's been nearly eight years since Cuba last scored against its upcoming foe.
With how much Cuba has struggled against Guatemala in the past, I don't see next week's resul t being any different. Guatemala is due to turn things around and there's no better opponent to do that against than a demoralized Cuban squad coming off a blowout loss.
It'll be close at times, but Guatemala has what it takes to edge out the victory.
Final Score Prediction:'Guatemala: 1 | Cuba: 0

Guatemala vs Cuba Best Bet
I'm taking Guatemala to win either 1-0, 2-0 or 3-0 at +115 odds as the best bet. Cuba's offense has recently been non-existent in this rivalry, resulting in Guatemala winning the last four games by final scores of either 1-0 or 3-0. With the favorites needing a rebound showing to get back on track, I won't be surprised if this trend continues.
