Current betting odds: El Salvador (2/1) Draw (11/5) Trinidad & Tobago (7/5)

Gamingtips Prediction – El Salvador 1:1 Trinidad & Tobago 

If we’re to base this match on recent results and form then we’re in for a dire affair.

El Salvador have scored just 2 times in their last 5 and conceded 11 goals.

Trinidad & Tobago haven’t scored a single goal in their last 4 games and have conceded 8.

Bookmakers have seemingly priced this match up based on recent history and the fact that Trinidad & Tobago are slightly higher in the FIFA World rankings than El Salvador.

There may be some value in backing El Salvador at odds of 2/1 because we have already seen Martinique upset Canada and Panama upset Mexico on the opening night of the tournament and that’s also forgetting the fact that Trinidad & Tobago haven’t scored a single goal in over 360 minutes of football.

An alternative value bet may be both teams to score (NO) at odds of 8/11 given their recent lack of goals.

This game gets underway at 00:00 CET and can be viewed live on ESPN HD.  International listings will vary.
