The United States Men’s National Team and Panama are prepared to compete in a Concacaf Nations League semi-final match this Thursday. The United States has been on a strong run, securing victories in their last four games across all competitions, most recently with a 3-0 win against Costa Rica in January. Panama’s recent form has been less impressive, as they haven’t won in their last three matches, including a heavy 6-1 defeat to Chile.
The semi-final is scheduled to kick off at 7 p.m. ET at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. According to the latest odds, the Americans are favored to win at -240 on the 90-minute money line, while Panama is considered the underdog at +500. A draw is priced at +330, and the over/under for total goals is set at 2.5. Christian Pulisic’s chances to score or assist are marked at -115.

Expert Prediction
Before the match, soccer expert Jon Eimer has shared his Nations League picks. Eimer, known for his extensive knowledge of global soccer leagues, suggests betting on both teams to score at +110 odds. Panama faces challenges with key player absences due to injuries and suspension, potentially impacting their defense and pushing them to adopt a more attacking approach.
Eimer also anticipates the USMNT to continue their goal-scoring form, despite their last match being in January. The US team has scored 10 goals in recent games against Jamaica, Venezuela, and Costa Rica, and Panama has not kept a clean sheet against the U.S. since the 2021 World Cup qualifiers.
