Dominica and The Dominican Republic will battle for three points in a CONCACAF Nations League B fixture on Saturday (November 16th). Dominica have not been in action since falling to a 3-2 defeat away to Bermuda in the last international break in October.
They were 2-0 down at the break courtesy of Marcus Bredas' own goal and Kole Hall's 45th-minute strike. Troy Jules and Audel Leville scored to draw the game level just before the hour mark while Jai Bean stepped off the bench to score the match-winner.
The Dominican Republic, meanwhile, thrashed Antigua and Barbuda last month. Luiyi de Lucas, Heinz Morschel and Dorny Romero scored first-half goals while Junior Firpo and Cesar Garcia scored after the break.

Dominica vs Dominican Republic Prediction
Dominica dropped two places to 183rd in the latest FIFA World Rankings. Ellington Sabin's side still have an outside shot at finishing second in the group but they need to win this game. That could be a tall order as they have lost three Nations League games since kick-starting the campaign with a 2-1 win over Antigua and Barbuda.
The Dominican Republic climbed to 142nd in the world rankings and will be aiming to continue their 100% start to the Nations League. A win here could see them gain promotion to League A depending on results elsewhere.
We are backing the Dominican Republic to claim a routine win and clean sheet.
