French Guiana vs Nicaragua Preview
French Guiana are competing in League A after earning promotion in 2023-24. It is the first time they will be playing in this division, with their previous campaigns carried out in League B. The hosts are yet to qualify for the Nations League Finals, which will certainly be a top priority this time as well as avoiding relegation.
Les Yana Dokos are set to return to action after 10 months of inactivity. Their last game dates back to November 2023 in a 3-1 win over Bermuda. They boast three wins in their last five matches and have suffered only one defeat in their last 10 matches at home in all competitions. French Guiana and Nicaragua are meeting for the first time.
Nicaragua also earned promotion to League A following a brilliant campaign in the 2023-24 edition. They won five of the six matches they played in Group B, drawing once. They are probably eying a ticket to the Nations League Finals, after failing to make it in the previous editions.
La Azul y Blanco will head into this meeting on the back of two straight wins, scoring eight goals. They defeated Montserrat 4-1 and Belize 4-0 in the World Cup qualifiers. The visitors will hope to build on that momentum as they open their campaign in the Nations League. Nicaragua have won thrice in their last five trips.
