Trinidad and Tobago will welcome Cuba to Dwight Yorke Stadium in the CONCACAF Nations League on Tuesday. The hosts will be looking to build on their morale-boosting draw against the visitors in the first fixture.
Trinidad and Tobago vs Cuba Preview
Trinidad and Tobago retuned from Santiago de Cuba with a point after sharing the spoils with Cuba (2-2). It was their second stalemate so far, which leaves them fifth-placed on two points in Group B of League A. With just one round of matches to conclude the group stage, Trinidad and Tobago will be aiming for the Gold Cup qualification ticket.
The Soca Warriors were able to maintain their status in League A in the previous edition, but now face the spectre of demotion to League B. Top-placed Jamaica (seven points) and second-placed Honduras (six points) will lock horns to determine the top finisher. Third-place Nicaragua will face already eliminated French Guiana.
Cuba are yet to register a win in the group stage. They have accumulated three draws, which leaves them in fourth place with three points. The visitors currently qualify for the Gold Cup preliminaries but could drop below that zone if they lose on Tuesday. However, if they win, they could finish second and qualify for the CONCACAF Nations League quarterfinals.
Los Leones del Caribe maintained that status in League A in 2023-24 and could repeat that feat once again by winning their last game. Cuba’s last visit to the Dwight Yorke Stadium ended in a 2-0 defeat. The visitors last won at the venue in 2010. Cuba have won once in their last five matches in all competitions.
