Player to watch: Styven Vasquez
Styven Vásquez is coming off the best season of his career, where he won the El Salvador Primera División's Golden Boot. The Luis Angel Firpo forward bagged 19 goals in 29 starts last season, and has earned his place in El Salvador's starting XI.
Taking into account that El Salvador failed to score in their last four meetings with Guatemala, it will be interesting to see how Vasquez will perform this weekend.
