Barbados Prediction – Can Barbados draw level at top?
Barbados are better known for their cricket than their football to be fair, hence the reference to their aptly named ground, but Tuesday night’s hosts will be looking to further enhance their credentials of promotion up to League B of the CONCACAF Nations League when they entertain group leaders, Cayman Islands.
Despite early back-to-back defeats away from home at Cayman Islands 3-2 and a 1-0 loss at Saint Martin, Barbados have registered home wins over Saint Martin 4-0 and 1-0 against Virgin Islands, while also doing the ‘double’ over the Virgin Islands with a convincing 4-0 rout away from home.
The hosts are now 3 points adrift of the group leaders, Cayman Islands, but it’s all to play for in this final match of the group as Barbados can still overhaul the leaders on goal difference with a convincing win here.
Barbados have won their 2 home matches to date handing them a 100% record on home turf and stats of 2-0-0 5/0 and the fact that they’ve also kept clean sheets in both of their victories at home so far should give them confidence here.
Cayman Islands Prediction – Can Cayman Islands hold onto top spot ?
The visitors hold a 3-point cushion at the top of Group A and so just need to avoid defeat when they travel to Barbados on Tuesday night in search of promotion up to League B after what has been a successful campaign to date in the CONCACAF Nations League.
However, although the visitors also possess a 100% record on home turf at their Truman Bodden Sports Complex having recorded wins against Barbados 3-2, Saint Martin 1-0 and a 1-0 win over Virgin Islands, things could still go drastically wrong if they suffer defeat on the road tonight.
Cayman Islands started brightly enough on their travels with a 2-0 win at hapless Virgin Islands but came a cropper in a heavy 3-0 loss at 3rd placed Saint Martin, so the visitors’ job is still not yet finished.
Indeed, the bigger picture shows that Cayman Islands have registered just 1 away win out of their last 16 matches in all competitions, a poor sequence of results that include no fewer than 12 defeats, so they’re by no means guaranteed of the points here.
Key-Facts – Barbados vs Cayman Islands
- Barbados possess a 100% record at home in Group A
- Cayman Islands have won just 1 of their last 16 away matches in all competitions
- There’s only been one previous meeting which Cayman Islands won 3-2 at home
Betting Tips Verdict
Barbados with home advantage could take the spoils here.
