The El Salvador soccer team has no margin for error in the remainder of the CONCACAF Octagonal. Currently, the team led by Hugo Pérez is in seventh place in the standings with only one win in eight games played, so it is imperative to start adding points at any cost.
The task will not be easy, since on the next FIFA Date, La Selecta will begin their round of three matches visiting the United States at Lower.com Field, a sports venue located in Columbus, Ohio. A defeat would be almost lapidary for El Salvador; Given this scenario, the ideal would be to go in search of a tie, since a victory against the Stars and Stripes team looks almost unlikely. If Hugo Pérez and his followers fall to the USMNT, the chances of attending the World Cup would be almost nil.
Given this panorama, the United States could become the greatest terror of the Salvadoran team in this CONCACAF Octagonal. USMNT will undoubtedly come out with their best arguments, and although they are second in the table so far, they will seek to take advantage of their imminent superiority to go for the lead, since at the top the fight is very even with Canada and Mexico.
The next qualifying duels of La Selecta
El Salvador will play three matches corresponding to the Octagonal on this FIFA Date: on Thursday, January 27 as a visitor against the United States; on Sunday, January 30, also as a visitor against Honduras and finally they will close the day at home on Wednesday, February 2, against Canada at the Cuscatlán Stadium.
