Nicaragua vs Montserrat Prediction and Betting Tips | October 16, 2023

Nicaragua host Montserrat at the Estadio Nacional de Futbol in the CONCACAF Nations League on Tuesday (October 16).

The hosts lead Group B of League B with nine points following a flawless run of three wins in as many games. They will earn promotion to League A if they finish top. However, second-placed Dominican Republic are another strong contender with six points.

Nicaragua played three friendlies last June as part of preparations for the Concacaf Nations League but lost all of them. However, they have lived up to the expectations in this competition as they eye historic qualification to League A. Nicaragua have four wins in their last five home games.

Montserrat, meanwhile, are third with three points but still stand a chance to make the top. Nine points are up for grabs in the remaining three matchdays, but the visitors have to be at their best to succeed. Following their 3-2 opening win over Barbados, Montserrat have lost to Dominican Republic 3-0 and Nicaragua 3-0.

Emerald Boys have endured a chastening run, with two wins in 10 games across competitions. They're coming off two straight defeats and three losses in five trips.
