Their goal-scoring has been less prolific, with seven goals scored at 1.4 per game, while conceding 16 goals at 3.2 per game.

head-to-head record

These two sides have met only once previously, on 20 November 2019. That match took place in the US Virgin Islands, where St. Martin secured a 2-1 victory. This means St. Martin hold the advantage in their head-to-head record, winning the only encounter so far and scoring three goals to just one conceded between them. Given this history and St. Martin’s current form, they look to maintain their dominance in this fixture.

what to expect and key factors

Based on recent performances and their head-to-head record, St. Martin appear well-positioned to extend their lead in the group with another strong result. Their ability to score freely and keep clean sheets at times contrasts with the US Virgin Islands’ struggles in defence and inconsistent form. However, football can always spring surprises, and the US Virgin Islands will be motivated to turn their fortunes around on the road. The match will test both teams’ resilience and attacking capabilities.
