Antigua and Barbuda vs Barbados Prediction and Betting Tips | 26th March 2023

Antigua and Barbuda host Barbados at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound on Sunday in the 2022-23 CONCACAF Nations League.

The Benna Boys beat Guadeloupe 1-0 on Thursday, courtesy of a 57th-minute strike from Ashley Nathaniel-George.

With nine points in five games, Mikele Leigertwood's side are third in Group A behind leaders Cuba, who have 12 points, and Guadeloupe, who are ahead of them on goal difference.

Barbados, meanwhile, were officially eliminated from the race to reach League A of the Nations League following their 1-0 loss to Cuba on Thursday.

Maikel Reyes scored in just the third minute of the game but the Bajan Tridents were handed a lifeline when Cuba's Yosel Piedra was sent off in the 33rd minute as they had the numerical advantage.

However, the hosts failed to capitalize and lost for the fifth time in a row in the competition this season.

Sunday's clash is essentially a dead rubber for them, but Orlando da Costa's side will be aiming to get a point on board before wrapping up their campaign.

Antigua and Barbuda vs Barbados Prediction

Antigua and Barbuda, ranked 35 places above Barbados, must win the match and hope that Guadeloupe drop points in the game so that they can sneak ahead of them and secure a place in the 2023 CONCACAF Gold Cup.

Barbados have nothing to fight for besides pride, and as much as they'd like to go down with a point, their disastrous run of form makes it difficult to see them get anything out of the game.
