Sint Maarten vs St. Kitts Preview
Both teams appear to be the weakest in Group A of League B. They have lost their two first games and sit bottom of the group. The top finisher of the group earns promotion to League A while the bottom-placed team will be relegated to League C. Sint Maarten are hoping to fight back at home.
Sint Maarten will enter the meeting on the back of three straight defeats, with 13 goals conceded against three scored.
