Cuba faces Belize on Tuesday in the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup group stage. The match begins at 5:30 p.m. ET. Watch the live stream HERE.
The two teams are playing for pride, at this point. With practically no chance to advance to the next round, the teams can only hope to exit the tournament with at least one win. Both Cuba and Belize sit at the bottom of Group C with zero points, thanks to two losses.
Cuba lost its opening match against Costa Rica, 3-0. It followed the loss with another against the USA, who dealt the Cubans a 4-1 loss. The first two games of the group stage left Cuba sitting with a -6 goal differential, LatinosPost.com reports.
Belize hasn't fared any better. The squad was routed by the USA in a 6-1 loss, only to follow it up with a 1-0 loss to Costa Rica. Like Cuba, Belize has a -6 goal differential and little chance of advancing to the quarterfinals.
It'd take a tremendous stroke of luck for either team to move ahead from the group stage. Not only would one of the teams need to win, but it'd also need a high scoring game to make up for its huge goal differential. Haiti and Martinique, the top third-place contenders likely to advance, have a -2 and -1 goal differential. Cuba or Belize would need a five or six-goal win to clinch a spot in the next round.
LatinosPost predicts Cuba to "dominate" the match and win, 3-0.
