El Salvador will welcome Martinique to the Estadio Nacional Jorge "El Mágico" González in the group stage of the CONCACAF Nations League on Tuesday.
The two teams met in the reverse fixture in Fort-de-France on Friday. It was a close game but Johnny Marajo's 23rd-minute strike assisted by defender Damien Dussaut helped Martinique record a 1-0 win.
The hosts have suffered three defeats in a row in the competition and have been relegated to League B. They'll look to sign off for the group-stage campaign with a win or at least earn a point.
The visitors are in third place in the Group A table and can still secure a place in the quarter-finals. To do so, they'll need to win this match and also hope that second-placed Panama lose to Guatemala on Tuesday.
