NextGOAL tip: Saint Martin -1.5 · 2 stars
These two meet in the CONCACAF Nations League, with US Virgin Islands hosting Saint Martin. The intrigue here is that Saint Martin have to come away from home and get a result, while the hosts have just won their last two in this competition. US Virgin Islands arrive with confidence from those two recent wins in this competition, but overall they are still a team that lets opponents dominate the ball and get into shooting positions often. Their average possession over the last 10 matches is 36.29%, and they concede 8 shots on target per game. Saint Martin, meanwhile, clearly have more of the ball at 53.1% and register 5.9 shots on target per game. Even though they lost their most recent match 0-2 in this competition, before that they had just thrashed an opponent 8-0. If Saint Martin control the ball and push high the way the numbers suggest, the game should flow in one direction and the hosts will have to sit deep and mainly wait to counter. US Virgin Islands' job is to slow the game down and limit the visitors' attacking rhythm for as long as possible, but with such a clear difference in the quality of possession, the game should tilt toward the visitors from start to finish.
