Montserrat vs Bonaire Prediction
Montserrat started off their Nations League campaign with two defeats to El Salvador and St. Vincent. However, they rebounded with a victory at the third time of asking to give themselves a shot of promotion to League A as one of the best-placed runners-up in the groups. Direct qualification might be too much of a stretch for Lee Bowyer's side as they are currently six points off group leaders El Salvador. But they are just one point behind second-placed St. Vincent which is a more realistic target.
Bonaire, for their part, gained promotion from League C as the best runners-up last season. However, they are on course to suffer an immediate return to the third division unless they can turn things around. Their games have tended to be high-scoring and that trend could continue here. They are without a victory since November 2023 and will be hoping to avenge the defeat suffered last time out.
We are backing Montserrat to claim a narrow victory with goals at both ends.
Prediction: Montserrat 2-1 Bonaire
