This is a continental cup match in the CONCACAF Nations League, where the two teams have met many times in this competition, and the most recent meeting ended with Aruba edging it 1-0, which makes Antigua and Barbuda eager to get a result in this match. Antigua and Barbuda have just won two in a row in this competition, with scores of 5-0 and 3-0, their attack is scoring more frequently again after an early spell of defeats, while Aruba have also won three in a row in this competition, but those wins required more effort, especially the most recent one where they edged it 3-2. The condition of the two teams is therefore not very different, both are in similarly good form. If the hosts score first from an attack that has just clicked back into gear, the game is likely to flow more toward the hosts, who can control the tempo better, because Antigua and Barbuda's home game usually sees them open up and attack the opponent from the start, while Aruba are good at waiting for their moment and counter-attacking.
