St. Kitts host Guadeloupe at SKNFA Technical Center in the CONCACAF Nations League on Thursday (September 7).
The 2023–24 Concacaf Nations League League B features St, Kitts, Guadeloupe, Saint Lucia and Sint Maarten. The winner of each group earns promotion to a superior division (league), while the bottom-placed team will be demoted to an inferior league.
The Sugar Boyz are facing Guadeloupe for the first time, having lost their last three games across competitions. St. Kitts lost to Trinidad and Tobago, United States of America and Jamaica in the Concacaf Gold Cup, conceding 14 goals without scoring any. They have won twice in their last five home games.
Guadeloupe, meanwhile, finished third in Group D of the 2023 Concacaf Gold Cup and were unable to advance to the knockouts. They have turned their focus to the Concacaf Nations League, which also serves as qualification for the 2024 Copa América. They lost their last game against Guatemala, ending a four-game unbeaten streak.
Guadeloupe finished second in the 2022-23 Concacaf Nations League (B) group stage, failing to earn promotion to League A. Unlike Guadeloupe, Saint Kitts and Nevis topped their group in League C last year, so they're competing in League B this year. Guadeloupe are unbeaten in their last three away games.
