Puerto Rico vs Anguilla Prediction
Puerto Rico are the overwhelming favorites and, barring an unimaginable upset, should cruise to victory. The Blue Hurricane also have home advantage in their favor and will want to stamp their authority early on. Charlie Trout's side are already playing catch-up in the table and will be wary of losing further ground to Suriname and El Salvador in the race for qualification for the next round.
Anguilla, for their part, needed penalties to eliminate the Turks and Caicos Islands in the last round of the qualifiers to get to this stage. However, their chances of progression out of this group are slim and in many ways, they are the minnows in the group.
Goal difference could be crucial to deciding the top two in this group and Puerto Rico are likely to go all out for a convincing win. We are backing the hosts to cruise to a comfortable victory and clean sheet.
Prediction: Puerto Rico 5-0 Anguilla
