CONCACAF Gold Cup Group C: Mexico meet table toppers Trinidad and Tobago

As the curtain falls on Gold Cup Group C, pool leaders Trinidad and Tobago take on Central American giants Mexico, while third-placed Guatemala still have a chance of overhauling El Tri if they beat bottom dwellers Cuba by a wide margin.

Costa Rica, Panama and the United States await in the quarter-finals for the runner-up, winner and potentially highest ranked third-placed side from Pool B or C respectively, so there is still much at stake.

Gold Cup cannon-fodder Cuba have beaten Guatemala just three times from 11 encounters, so a draw at 11/2 for the Lions of the Caribbean to snatch a point and some pride may be their best hope of a result.

The island nation’s most potent threat is attacker Ariel Martinez, who famously hit a hat-trick against Belize in the 2013 edition of the Gold Cup, and is 7/2 to strike anytime, while striker Alain Cervantes is 5/1 in the same market.

For favourites Guatemala, meanwhile, flexible forward Carlos Ruiz has already been on target this tournament and is 4/1 to fire home first, with fellow marksman Minor Lopez an identical price to have the final say.

The Soca Warriors are an excellently priced 8/1 to continue their perfect pool record, or 7/2 to at least split the spoils, with the significant motivation of avoiding Costa Rica should they stay ahead of the Mexicans to emerge as group winners.
