El Salvador are already out of the World Cup running, but Panama are locked in a battle with Suriname for top spot in Group A of this final qualification phase. The group winner goes to the World Cup, but the best two runners-up from the three groups go to the playoffs, so it's not all over if Panama don't win the group.
After last week's games, in which Panama snatched a vital late winner against Guatemala, the standings in Group A have Suriname top with nine points and +5 goal difference, while Panama are on the same points but with a +2 goal difference.
If Panama better Suriname's result against Guatemala, they are going to the World Cup. If both teams win, Panama could only top the group with a goal-fest against El Salvador, otherwise it's the play-off route.
