Nicaragua vs El Salvador will be one of the friendly matches to be played this Wednesday, November 16.

Coaches will be able to face other national teams and start planning the project to qualify for the World Cup of the year 2026.
These CONCACAF teams are not known for having a strong rivalry between them, and although they have nothing to fight about, an exciting match is expected, as Nicaragua has made it clear that it wants to win this game on its home field.

Nicaragua Preview
Nicaragua will play two friendly matches to end the year 2022. The first one will be against El Salvador this Wednesday and the second one against Guatemala next Saturday, November 19, one day before the World Cup starts.
In their most recent match last week, they suffered a 1-0 loss to Iran, their third consecutive defeat, having lost 2-1 to Suriname and 1-0 to Ghana on FIFA dates in September. This match only gives them the opportunity to give their fans a reason to celebrate with a positive result playing at home, something they have not achieved since five months ago when they defeated Bahamas 4-0 in the CONCACAF Nations League.
Absences: Not reported.
Probable lineup: Ayler López, Óscar Acevedo, Erick Tellez, Marvin Fletes, Jason Coronel, Harold Medina, Mario Dávila, Jonathan Moncada, Cristhian Flores, Anderson Treminio, Brayan López.
El Salvador Preview
The last time El Salvador saw action in a friendly match was against Peru on September 27, losing by a score of 1-4. It registers three games without a win, with two draws and one loss. One thing that has been habitual for the Salvadoran team is the fact that they have scored in each of their last five games, regardless of the result.
La Selecta knew they would not participate in Qatar 2022 since March of this year when they drew 1-1 with Jamaica, missing out on the opportunity in the final CONCACAF octagonal. Thus, this match will only serve to close the year with a victory.
Absences: Not reported.
Probable lineup: Tomás Romero, Bryan Tamacas, Erick Cabalceta, Walter Pineda, Kevin Menjivar, Harold Osorio, Joshua Pérez, Jaime Ortiz, Alexis Renderos, Jairo Henriquez, Mayer Gil.
JefeBet Prediction
Both teams register five months without a win, and based on their performance in the games played during this 2022, the result of this match could easily be a draw.
Prediction: Draw by a score of 1-1.
