Cuba vs French Guiana: Storylines and Head-to-Head
Cuba have to start their 2021 Gold Cup campaign from the Preliminary round after finishing at the bottom of Group A in the CNL League A losing all four games. Two years later, they want to redeem themselves and achieve a 10th Gold Cup group stage appearance.
French Guiana, who have taken part in one Gold Cup tournament in their history four years ago, have made it to this game by finishing second in Group A of the Nations League second-tier.
This will be the fourth match between these two national teams. None of them have the edge so far, as they claimed one win each and tied in the other game. Cuba won the last game between them earlier this year.
