Panama vs. Nicaragua Betting Preview
Being on home turf, Panama is the big favorite in this one, and the host nation will back themselves to get the job done in front of their home supporters.
Can Panama Keep the Good Times Rolling?
Panama has been on a bad run of form over the past six months or so. They tied four games in a row on either side of defeats to Qatar and Argentina. The Canal Men did manage to stop the rot by picking up their first victory since September 2022 in their last match back in March.
In the CONCACAF Nations League, Thomas Christiansen’s side secured a narrow victory away at Costa Rica. The game looked to be headed for a goalless draw, but Jose Fajardo had other ideas. The Cusco forward scored 13 minutes from time to give the Panamanians a precious 1-0 win.
This will be Panama’s first match on home soil since June last year. They wiped the floor with Martinique on that occasion, picking up a 5-0 win in the Nations League. Can they pull off another big victory in front of their home fans this weekend? The best soccer picks and latest odds are below.
Los Pinoleros Unbeaten in 2023
Nicaragua heads to Panama having won just two of the last seven games. However, they are unbeaten in two, winning one and drawing one. After successive defeats to Suriname, Ghana, and Iran, the Blue and White bounced back with a 1-0 success over El Salvador last November. However, they finished 2022 with a 3-1 loss to Guatemala.
Los Pinoleros are unbeaten in 2023. In March, they sealed an excellent 4-1 Nations League win over St. Vincent / Grenadines, with Ariagner Smith, Juan Barrera, Matias Moldskred, and Francisco Flores getting the goals. That was followed up with a 1-1 draw at Trinidad and Tobago.
Of course, this will no doubt be a stern test for Nicaragua. However, they will take plenty of heart from their last two Nations League matches, and the Blue and White could cause an upset in Penonome. Stay tuned for the best odds on the soccer matches this week, along with our Panama vs Nicaragua picks.
Panama vs. Nicaragua Betting Picks
These two nations last met in a non-FIFA friendly in February 2020. The game in Managua finished in a forgettable 0-0 draw.

Check out the tempting betting odds of +550 for the draw and both teams to score. There is also good value in the draw at half time and full time at +650.
