Cuba and Belize will face off against one another in the CONCACAF Gold Cup 2013 on Tuesday.
Both clubs have virtually nothing to play for as their chances of earning a knockout round berth are non-existent.
Cuba lost its opening game 3-0 against Costa Rica. In its second game against the Americans, Cuba got off to a terrific start and even scored the opening tally. However, the team conceded four straight and lost 4-1. Through two matches, Cuba has a -6 goal differential.
Meanwhile Belize imploded 6-1 against the Americans in its opening game. However, the team bounced back and put up a near-perfect defensive display against Costa Rica. If not for an own goal, the team would have earned a 0-0 draw.
In order for either team to qualify for the knockout rounds, each team would need a victory. However, the victory would have to be a massive blowout as both sides currently have -6 goal differentials. The top two third place sides qualify for the knockout stages; as it stands, Haiti and Martinique each have a -2 and -1 goal differential. A five-goal or six-goal win would be necessary if either side is to earn a berth in final rounds.
Prediction: Look for Cuba to dominate this match and earn a 3-0 victory.
Start Time: Kickoff starts at 5:30 p.m. EST.
