Saint Vincent and the Grenadines vs El Salvador Prediction and Betting Tips | 9th June 2024
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines lock horns with El Salvador at the Frank Essed Stadium in Paramaribo, Suriname on Sunday for a 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier. The sides have been drawn alongside Suriname, Puerto Rico and Anguilla in Group F.
Ranked 173rd in the world, Saint Vincent were crushed 4-1 by Suriname in their opening qualifier. Oalex Anderson had given the visitors the lead in the 31st minute, but Suriname fired back by netting four times thereafter.
With a goal difference of -3, the Vincy Heat are at the bottom of their group and will be looking to pick themselves up in the second match.
Speaking of their rivals, The Cuscatlecos' winless run continued with a 0-0 draw against Puerto Rico. They had 13 shots in the game despite having only 49% possession but lacked the cutting edge to make it count.
Having secured a point from the stalemate, David Dóniga's side are placed second in their group, just ahead of Puerto Rico. But if they were to solidify their position, or climb higher in case of Suriname's defeat, El Salvador must do something they haven't in their last 22 games - win.
