International Friendly
Besides the obvious quality difference between a South American team and a Central American team, Panama also has some serious squad problems, with lots of their players being either injured, either lacking in match practice. That is why a lot of their veterans (defenders Felipe Baloy - Santos Laguna, Luiz Henriques - Lech, Roman Torres - Atletico Nacional; midfielders Gabriel Gomez - Philadelphia, Amilcar Henriquez - Huila; and forwards Blas Perez - Dallas and Luis Tejada - Juan Aurich) haven't even been called-up for this match, leaving them to take on Paraguay with a rather inexperienced squad, with only 6 players that have at least 10 caps, while 9 of them have a maximum of 3. And their defense looks the weakest, as only Erick Davis (Fenix) is playing abroad. Paraguay may also have some missings, but their team still looks very good, as we can see players like Paulo da Silva (Zaragoza), Alcaraz (Wigan), Haedo Valdez (Rubin) and Barrios (Borussia). Last match, less than half an year ago, Paraguay managed to comfortably win 2-0 in Panama, so now, with so many absences for Los Canaleros, I expect the difference to go even higher. GL!
Paraguay (-1.5 AH) @ 1.81, 2/10
Result: 1-0, LOST
