El Salvador vs Martinique Betting Tips: Team1 to Win

Having secured exit from the group stage on four occasions out of the previous six editions of the Gold Cup, El Salvador will try to apply the same recipe this year as well. Admittedly, the curiosity is that every time they were stopped already at the first hurdle, including the previous 2021 campaign, when Qatar eliminated them (2-3).

Hand on heart, but we dare to say that Los Cuscatlecos have every right to think about the first place in their group. Without underestimating the others, but it seems that they have slightly easier opponents than in the previous edition in 2021, when they collected six points from three fixtures, which is their best group result since this tournament was renamed the Gold Cup in 1991.

While the El Salvador national team has shown a significant improvement in results since Hugo Perez took over, it seems that they have fallen out of rhythm of late. They registered their last victory on June 5 last year (3-1 vs Grenada), and since then eight games don’t know about victory (D3, L5). Still, a 1-1 draw against South Korea in the last warm-up match certainly lifted the mood.

Their opposition on the opening day of the 2023 Gold Cup will be Martinique, the island nation that impressed during the qualifiers of the same. They reached the final tournament via the playoffs by first eliminating Saint Lucia 3-1 in the semi-finals, and then in the final match they routinely outplayed the Puerto Ricans 2-0.

Les Matinino, however, will not remember the previous appearance at the Gold Cup 2021 for well. Besides they ended their participation already in the group stage, they lost each of their three games, and especially it sounds the devastating fact that they conceded a whopping 12 goals &— the most of any other team in that edition.

The two national teams have measured their strengths only once so far and it was no less and no more than at the Gold Cup, but 20 years ago &— in 2023. Then El Salvador won 1-0 and thus secured the knockout stage, and we hope for the same outcome this time as well. Experience and quality are absolutely on the side of Los Cuscatlecos who should start the Gold Cup 2023 in a triumphant way.
