Guatemala and Haiti will square off at the DRV PNK Stadium in an international friendly on Sunday.
Guatemala are coming off a 1-0 victory over Cuba in a friendly on Thursday. Carlos Mejia’s first-half strike proved to be the difference between the two teams. Haiti, meanwhile, have not been in action since a 2-0 victory over Jordan in a friendly in September last year.
An own goal by Abdallah Naseeb and a first-half strike by Brian Chevreuill helped Le Rouge et Bleu secure a win in a game that saw Baha Faisal miss a second-minute penalty for Jordan.
Both teams were eliminated in the group stage of the 2021 Gold Cup. They will use Sunday’s friendly to continue their preparations ahead of their return to competitive action.

Guatemala vs Haiti Prediction
Haiti are marginal favourites in the game and will fancy their chances of getting a win against their regional rivals. However, Guatemala have been historically superior, and their current run of four unbeaten games gives them an edge.
They also have an edge in having played more recently compared to Haiti, who have not been in action for over six months. So Guatemala could secure a narrow victory, with goals at both ends.
Prediction: Guatemala 2-1 Haiti.
