📊 GROUP B STANDINGS
1️⃣ Curaçao – 7 pts (+3 GD)
2️⃣ Jamaica – 6 pts (+6 GD)
3️⃣ Trinidad & Tobago – 4 pts (0 GD)
4️⃣ Bermuda – 0 pts (−9 GD)
Curaçao leads the group and could take a massive step toward its first-ever World Cup appearance, while Trinidad & Tobago — fresh off their first win of the final round — aims to climb back into contention.
🇨🇼 CURAÇAO: STRONG FORM AND HOME FORTRESS
Under Dick Advocaat, Curaçao has quietly become one of the most consistent teams in the region. After defeating Jamaica 2–0 on Saturday, the “Blue Family” sits atop Group B, boasting a formidable home record: unbeaten in their last 12 matches at the Stadion Ergilio Hato, winning eight.
The team’s balance between European-based experience and local energy has been key. Curaçao has scored five goals in its last two games while conceding just twice.
Expected to feature again are:
🧤 Eloy Room (Goalkeeper, Columbus Crew)
🛡 Juriën Gaari & Armando Obispo (defensive anchors)
⚙️ Leandro Bacuna & Juninho Bacuna, the midfield brothers who dictate the tempo
⚡ Jearl Margaritha, Sontje Hansen, and Jürgen Locadia up front
🗣 Dick Advocaat: “We know what’s at stake — this team has quality and belief. Every game brings us closer to making history.”
A win would extend Curaçao’s unbeaten streak to 13 and all but cement their position as group leaders heading into November.
🇹🇹 TRINIDAD & TOBAGO: FINDING MOMENTUM AT THE RIGHT TIME
The Soca Warriors, led by Dwight Yorke, arrive boosted by their convincing 2–0 victory over Bermuda — a result that ended their six-match winless run on the road. Yorke’s men dominated that match, generating four clear chances, hitting the post twice, and controlling play with 32 touches inside the opposition box.
Key players for Trinidad & Tobago include:
🧤 Denzil Smith (GK) – solid between the posts
🛡 Josiah Trimmingham & Kobi Henry, forming a young, athletic defensive duo
⚙️ Daniel Phillips & Andre Rampersad, providing strength in midfield
⚡ Levi Garcia (Spartak Moscow), Tyrese Spicer (MLS), and Dante Sealy (Montreal) as the attacking trio
🗣 Dwight Yorke: “The win against Bermuda gave us the confidence we needed. Curaçao will be tough at home, but we’re ready to fight for every point.”
Trinidad & Tobago will look to replicate their clinical finishing from last week and stay compact against Curaçao’s wide, high-tempo play.
⚔️ KEY MATCHUPS
Bacuna brothers vs. Rampersad & Phillips: midfield control could decide the game’s rhythm.
Locadia vs. Trimmingham/Henry: aerial and physical duels inside the box.
Levi Garcia’s pace vs. Curaçao’s backline: one moment of brilliance could turn the match.
🏆 ROAD TO THE FIFA WORLD CUP 2026™
Every point matters in Group B, where the top team qualifies directly for the World Cup, and the two best second-place finishers across all groups advance to the Intercontinental Playoff.
Curaçao seeks to protect its home streak and keep its historic dream alive, while Trinidad & Tobago must steal points on the road to stay in the race.
