Betting on Barbados
Barbados played a third of friendly matches against Grenada last February, and drew in all of them. Those three draws are a positive balance, as it was on a streak of seven consecutive defeats in all competitions. That streak extends to 17 matches unbeaten, so it is no surprise that it is ranked #166 in the FIFA rankings.
In fact, the Barbadian team has four defeats in the Nations League, which places them in last place in Group A. Their defense is the worst-scoring with a total of seven goals conceded and their offense has also performed poorly with only one goal scored.
They have three games without a win at home, but at least their last win came at home by a score of 1-0 against Anguilla.
Possible lineup (4-5-1): Kishmar Primus; Krystian Pearce, Akeem Hill, Sheran Hoyte, Ricardo Morris; Mario Williams, Niall Reid-Stephen, Hagan Holligan, Omani Leacock, Nadre Butcher; Roshon Gittens
Betting on Cuba
Cuba began its Nations League campaign with a 2-1 loss to Guadeloupe, but then corrected its course and is now the leader of Group A with nine points. It has three consecutive victories, and is the team with the most goals scored in its zone with a total of nine. Three of their four games in the competition have covered the Over (2.5).
The aforementioned defeat was the last, and they are currently five games unbeaten in all competitions. They have won 50% of their last 10 away games in all competitions and interestingly have not lost in four visits to Barbados, recording two wins and two draws.
Possible Lineup (4-1-3-2): Sandy Sanchez; Greibel Palma, Mario Peñalver, Carlos Vazquez, Dariel Morejon Rodriguez; Yosel Piedra; Roberney Caballero, Christian Flores, Rolando Abreu; Daniel Diaz, Kevin Torriente Martin
JefeBet Prediction
In the FIFA ranking, these teams are separated by two places, with Barbados at 166th and Cuba at 168th. This ranking could be misleading, as Cuba’s performance is currently better and the Nations League statistics confirm it.
Barbados has never beaten Cuba in seven meetings from 2000 to date, it is difficult for them to achieve that feat in this match. We will be expecting goals from both sides and a high score.
Prediction: Cuba wins by a score of 1-3.
