Nicaragua vs Montserrat Prediction and Betting Tips | 6th June 2024
Nicaragua will welcome Montserrat at Estadio Nacional de Fútbol in the CONCACAF World Cup qualifiers on Wednesday.
Nicaragua vs Montserrat Preview
The hosts have played three exhibition matches this year as they fine-tune for the CONCACAF World Cup qualifiers. However, the friendlies against Peru, Cuba and Guatemala ended in two losses and one draw, respectively. Nicaragua are yet to qualify for the FIFA World Cup but have participated in eight qualifying tournaments.
La Azul y Blanco will be eying a third straight win against Montserrat after prevailing over the visitors in their last two clashes. Both teams are vying for Group D’s two tickets to the third round alongside Guyana, Panama and Belize. Nicaragua will hope to maintain their impressive home form in Wednesday’s clash.
Montserrat come into this meeting on the back of three successive wins. Their last defeat was against Nicaragua (3-0) in the CONCACAF Nations League last October. The visitors recruited former England international Lee Bowyer as coach late last year to prepare the team for the World Cup qualifiers.
Emerald Boys could face an uphill battle at Estadio Nacional de Fútbol, considering Nicaragua’s form and determination. The visitors may not be eying an outright win over the hosts but avoiding a humiliating outcome could be the main objective. However, Montserrat boast scorers like Brandon Barzey, who has netted three times in their last three games.
