Barbados and the Dominican Republic will battle for three points in a CONCACAF Nations League clash on Friday.
The home side are coming into the game on the back of a harrowing 5-1 defeat away to Nicaragua in September. Jaime Ciorciari scored a brace in the rout, while Thierry Gale scored a late consolation strike for his nation.
The Dominican Republic, meanwhile, claimed maximum points with a comfortable 3-0 home win over Montserrat last month. Abraham Dorsett scored an own goal in the third minute, while Dorny Romero scored a brace to inspire his nation to victory.

The win took Los Quisqueyanos to second spot in Group B, having garnered three points from two games. Barbados are bottom of the standings with zero points after two games.

Barbados vs Dominican Republic Prediction
Barbados are already the early favorites to get relegated to League C, having lost their two Nations League games so far. They have also won just one game in over two years and another loss here would leave them on the cusp of being relegated.
The Dominican Republic are unbeaten in three previous games against Barbados and will fancy their chances of getting maximum points here. Marcelo Neveleff's side started their Nations League campaign with a defeat but bounced back against Montserrat.
Although one side could nick a win, we are backing the spoils to be shared in a high-scoring stalemate.
