Tournament CONCACAF Nations League

Date & kick-off time 27 sep 2026, 20:00

On September 28, 2026, the national teams of Curaçao and Nicaragua will meet in the second round of Division A of the CONCACAF Nations League. The hosts will look to prove on the pitch that they are the stronger side.

Curaçao - Nicaragua team news and expert analysis

Curaçao made their World Cup debut this summer. They certainly did not disgrace themselves: they scored against Germany (although they eventually lost 1-7) and held Ecuador to a 0-0 draw. However, they were inevitably eliminated after a 0-2 defeat by Côte d'Ivoire. In the Nations League clash with Costa Rica, they made a difficult start but then showed their class and character to snatch victory.

Nicaragua fought until the very end for a place at the World Cup. But after reaching the decisive round, they managed just four points and finished bottom of their group. In 2026, they have lost two friendlies and drawn with South Africa. In the opening round, they put up a fight against the Dominican Republic and scored twice away from home, but eventually lost 2-3.

The World Cup participants score an average of 1.8 goals per game, but concede 2.3. Barrera and company, with just 0.7 goals scored per match, concede 2.20 on average.

Previous meetings: Curaçao - Nicaragua

The islanders have won twice in the last four meetings, with one defeat.

He is an analyst in the world of football who doesn't mind adding to his budget with a lucky bet, something he has been doing for the last 10 years. I don't believe in luck, but I believe that the motivation of the opponents and their kit plays a big role, and any sensation is explainable. I prefer to play cautiously, because it is better to win 5 out of 5 bets at odds of 1.6-1.7 than to lose 2 out of 3 bets at odds of 2.2.
