First tip for 2016: Copa America play-off, game 1

It is a great honor that my first tip in the new year will start with one of the best and oldest tournament in the world. Four teams will battle for only 2 remaining places just to be part of the biggest spectacle of a special competition who will mark its anniversary from this June: the prestigious Copa America Centenario with its 100-years old, is certainly the tournament to watch for this summer. In order to get there, 4 CONCACAF teams will try to give out their best and present us with fascinating games of football from this part of the globe.
Panama is hosting these 4 thanks to their performance in 2015 Gold Cup which all advanced to the quarter-finals. Tonight from 17.35 LT / 23.35 CET in Panama City at the Estadio Rommel Fernandez Trinidad and Tobago will play Haiti. In an active competition so far, fourth round from the World Cup qualifiers in the CONCACAF zone, Haiti is in last place in group B and its highly unlikely that they will advance to the final round. Unlike them, Trinidadians have good chances to qualify for round 5 from their respective group C. But lately, these 2 teams are not playing very well. Either fatigue is in question or something else 'the Soca Warriors' (Trinidad and Tobago) are slight favorites for this game. They will do everything in their power to win this game in 90 who will send a joy back home and thus spoil their fans. However, to be a part of the oldest football competition in the world is a big challenge and great honor.
