Panama vs Qatar Prediction & Pick

Qatar did exactly what it needed to on Sunday to clinch a spot in the quarterfinals with a 1-0 win over Mexico. However, it's worth noting that Qatar only tallied a single shot in that clash, so the result was more about goalkeeper Meshaal Barsham than anything else. Mexico logged 77% of the possession.

That bodes well for Panama's chances of emerging victorious on Saturday. If manager Jaime Luzano's team can take the same level of control that Mexico did, it will not be for nothing. Panama's attack is firing on all cylinders and has scored a pair of goals in all three of its Gold Cup matches.

I'll back Panama to move on here thanks to what should be another great offensive showing in Texas.

Final Score Prediction: Panama: 2 | Qatar: 1

Panama vs Qatar Best Bet

Qatar may be the underdog, but keep in mind that manager Carlos Queiroz's team has found the back of the net at least once in all three of its Gold Cup matches. Both teams have scored in five of the combined six Gold Cup matches involving these teams. Backing that to happen again is the best bet here.

Bet: Both Teams to Score - Yes (+108)
