In their two previous meetings in this competition, Saint Martin and US Virgin Islands traded wins, each losing at home 1-2 and then getting revenge away by the same score. This time it is a continental cup game in the CONCACAF Nations League, and both sides are in quite different shape than they were then. Saint Martin are on a three-match winning run, and their latest outing in this competition was an 8-0 rout. US Virgin Islands, meanwhile, have just lost in the same competition, and in their last five matches they have won only one. Their defence is a clear problem, as they have conceded 7.67 shots on target per game over their last 10, while Saint Martin register 5.6 shots on target per game and clearly dominate possession (51.2% versus 38.57%). If the hosts take the lead as the run of play suggests, given their superior control of the ball, the game could flow in one direction with goals following. But if the visitors sit deep and succeed on the counter, it could become a match where the hosts attack heavily but find it harder to break through. The first thing to watch after kick-off is how quickly the hosts can turn pressure into a goal.
