Making a splash
Cuba will try to be one of the surprises and despite having countries like Canada and Guatemala in the group, the Cubans want to advance at least to the quarterfinals.
To be improved
Guatemala has high expectations for this tournament due to the fact that they have had a clear improvement under Mexican coach Luis Fernando Tena, even though they lost 3 of their last 4 friendlies.

Key Player Cuba
Goalkeeper Raiko Arozarena is the brother of Mexican baseball player Randy Arozarena, who has taken over the Cuban goal in recent times and could be one of the key players with his saves to get a positive result in their debut in this edition of the 2023 Gold Cup.
Key player Guatemala
An old acquaintance of Mexican soccer who accepted the invitation to be part of the Guatemalan national team years ago is striker Antonio López, who should be responsible for scoring goals, especially when taking advantage of his good height, especially in set plays.

Cuba: defensive sector
Cuba has been one of the constant guests, although they have not been able to do much in the Gold Cup. For this reason, they will have to close their ranks well at the back and not allow any goals, so that from there they can create some in front of the attack and from there create a surprise, and hopefully they will arrive with a full squad, because many players tend to drop out.
Guatemala: advance to the next round
For the first time in a long time, in addition to being back in a Gold Cup, Guatemala is one of the favorites along with Canada to advance to the next round, the Quarterfinals, so they will have to impose conditions against the two "weak" rivals of the sector, which are Cuba and Guadeloupe, highlighting that they have been evolving since the Mexican Luis Fernando Tena took the helm of the team.
The Kick-off
The Guatemala vs Cuba match will be played at the Lockhart Stadium, in Fort Lauderdale, United States. The kick-off is scheduled at 8:45 pm ET.
