The Group Stage of the CONCACAF Gold Cup 2023 is history, and we already know the eight teams that will be present in the tournament’s quarterfinals.
So far, there are no surprises regarding the qualified teams, as the strongest teams in the region got through the Group Stage with relative ease. We are talking specifically about Mexico, the United States, and Canada.
However, it is also worth mentioning that teams like Panama, Costa Rica, and Guatemala have shown a high level of play in recent months. At the same time, Jamaica and Qatar will try to give a blow on the table to advance to the tournament’s semifinals.
Now, the first match of the quarterfinals of the CONCACAF Gold Cup 2023 will be between Panama and Qatar.
When:
Saturday, July 8 at 07:00 PM ET at AT&T Stadium

Why Bet on Panama?
Panama has been one of the best Central American teams in recent times in CONCACAF, but they seem to run out of gas when facing the big teams in the region.
However, in this Gold Cup, they looked extremely good in the Group Stage, as they managed to qualify undefeated after two wins and a draw to finish first in Group C. On the other hand, it is worth mentioning that this team has some defensive problems, or at least they showed that against Costa Rica, Martinique, and El Salvador.
Panama is coming from a 2-2 draw against El Salvador in the last match of the Group Stage.
Why Bet on Qatar?
On the other hand, we have Qatar, one of the teams invited to this 2023 Gold Cup by CONCACAF, and they have shown that they are an excellent guest. Unlike in previous years, these non-CONCACAF teams usually bring very young squads of players, which makes their participation boring and meaningless.
However, the Arabs took their participation in the tournament seriously and brought a squad similar to the one that played in the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
In the Group Stage, the Qatari side finished in second place in Group B after achieving a record of 1 win, 1 draw, and 1 loss. Moreover, a lot of credit must be given to this team, as they managed to beat Mexico in the last match of the Group Stage by 1-0 to seal their ticket to the quarterfinals.
They must apply the same dose to beat Panama and stay alive in the tournament.
Final Betting Analysis: Panama vs. Qatar
This match has occurred only once in modern soccer history, and it ended in a 3-3 draw on July 14, 2021. By coincidence, that game was also part of that season’s CONCACAF Gold Cup.
At MyBookie.ag, we can see that there is a Moneyline that favors Panama at +113, while Qatar starts at +225.
While it is true that Qatar may come with a lot of confidence after beating Mexico in their last match, we do not doubt that Panama has much more experience in this type of match. That is why our betting selection is a 1-0 win for the Centro Americans.
Look for a straight win on the Moneyline Panama. If you put $100 on Panama at +113, you’ll see a $113 win with a total payout of $213.
