Panama and Curaçao meet with progression at stake after a goalless first leg

A quarter-final still open

Panama and Curaçao return to Panama City for the quarter-final second leg after a goalless first leg. The prize is a place in the March 2027 Nations League Finals and the 2027 Gold Cup. The aggregate winner advances. Away goals break an aggregate tie; if the teams are still level, extra time and, if needed, penalties follow.

Curaçao’s scoring edge

In five matches in this competition, Curaçao have scored 12 goals and conceded five, with three wins and two draws. Panama’s competition record covers just one match: a 0-0 draw. That contrast points to Curaçao as the more productive side, while Panama’s single match is too small a sample for a broader comparison.

Curaçao’s away figures offer both encouragement and a caution: in two away matches in this competition, they scored five goals but conceded four, with one win and one draw. A pattern to watch is whether they can maintain their scoring output without allowing Panama to exploit the defensive openings seen in those away games.

Panama’s unbeaten run against Curaçao

Panama are unbeaten in the last four meetings, with two wins and two draws; Curaçao have not won any of them. The latest meeting, the first leg of this quarter-final, ended 0-0.

Our prediction

Curaçao have the edge: their five-match scoring record in this competition is stronger, and PreviaXI’s model favours an away win. Panama’s unbeaten record across the last four meetings offers a counterpoint, so a home result or another draw remain plausible alternatives.
