Barbados vs US Virgin Islands Preview
Barbados are hoping for a better campaign this term than the previous one when their performance was nothing to write home about. They lost all six matches and were consequently demoted from League B to C. The hosts competed in League B in 2022-23 and 2023-24, and will be keen to secure promotion in this campaign.
Bajan Tridents opened their campaign in Group A (League C) on a positive note, beating Bahamas 3-2 to claim the top spot on three points. Barbados will be looking to build on their momentum by claiming a second win in a row to keep their stranglehold on the top spot. They won their last meeting against the US Virgin Islands 4-0.
The US Virgin Islands have been static since entering the competition in 2019-20. They have only competed in League C, with the previous edition their worst thus far. They lost all four matches and finished bottom of their group. It is unclear what objectives they have for this campaign, but they appear to be ambitious.
The Dashing Eagles came from behind to claim a 3-3 draw against the Bahamas in Group A's opening game last Tuesday. That outcome leaves them second in the group with one point. US Virgin Islands have defeated Barbados once, dating back to March 2015 in a World Cup qualifier. The visitors are winless in their last five matches.
