Sutton knows forward Christian Pulisic of the United States opened the scoring against Bolivia last Sunday in the third minute and never let up. He finished with four shots, including two on target. He has been a force for the United States on offense and, since joining his national team in 2016, has registered 30 goals in 69 appearances. He has two goals in five matches in 2024.

Sutton also knows among Panama's top scoring threats is forward Jose Fajardo. In 47 appearances for his national team, he has recorded 11 goals. In the 3-1 win over Montserrat during the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifications on June 9, he scored Panama's second goal to give them a lead they never relinquished.    

Now, Sutton has broken down this matchup from every possible angle. He has found a critical x-factor and locked in a MUST-SEE bet! You ABSOLUTELY need to see his picks and analysis before making any soccer picks of your own.
