El Salvador will play host to Bonaire at Stadion Antonio Trenidat in the CONCACAF Nations League on Monday. The sides are set to play their first official match together.
El Salvador vs Bonaire Preview
El Salvador were demoted from League A to B in the 2023-24 edition following a dismal campaign that saw them losing all four matches. This is the second time they will be competing in League B since 2019-20. The hosts will enter this meeting on the back of two wins on the road, scoring five goals.
La Selecta opened their campaign in Group A with an impressive 4-1 away win over Montserrat to claim the top spot on three points. They are expected to be in a stronger position this time around as the home team. A win would help El Salvador accomplish almost half of their mission in the group with four more games to spare.
Bonaire were promoted from League C to B in the previous edition following a satisfactory campaign that saw them winning two matches out of two. They are yet to compete in League A, which could be their main objective for this campaign. The visitors are winless in their last three matches in all competitions (D2, L1).
Bonaire were held at home to a 1-1 draw in their opening game against Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. Hoeve put Bonaire ahead after 36 minutes but the equalizer came under three minutes later to douse celebrations. The visitors will likely face an uphill battle at Stadion Antonio Trenidat when they take on El Salvador in front of local fans.
