On Friday, June 7th, a World Cup qualification match will take place in North and Central America between Haiti and Saint Lucia. The game will commence at 23:00 Central European Time, and the experts at Dailysports have prepared a forecast for this encounter.
Haiti
The national team embarks on their journey in World Cup qualification. They are placed in a group alongside Barbados, Aruba, Saint Lucia, and Curaçao. This match will mark their inaugural fixture in the qualifiers. The initial matches will transpire over the course of several days, with subsequent fixtures scheduled for the following year. Only one team from the group will advance to the next stage, securing the top spot.
Haiti's most recent official matches were played within the CONCACAF Nations League framework. The team competed in League A but finished fifth and consequently relegated to a lower tier. Across four Nations League matches, Haiti failed to secure a victory. This year, Haiti played a friendly match, ending in a draw against French Guiana.
Haiti currently occupies the 90th spot in the FIFA rankings and has never participated in the World Cup.
Saint Lucia
For Saint Lucia, this also marks their first match in the qualification campaign. Saint Lucia hasn't played any matches in 2024 thus far. Their last matches took place in 2023 as part of the CONCACAF Nations League. They competed in League B, accumulating ten points in six matches and securing second place in their group. Saint Lucia fell short to Guadeloupe by five points, failing to qualify for the higher tier of the Nations League. Although they started the competition strongly with three victories, they suffered two defeats and one draw thereafter. Following this, the team hasn't played any matches.
The team attempted to qualify for the World Cup for the first time before the 1994 tournament but fell short. Overall, Saint Lucia has never participated in the World Cup. They currently sit at the 165th position in the FIFA rankings.
Interesting facts about the match and head-to-head history

Haiti vs Saint Lucia prediction
Despite Haiti's recent form (six matches without a win), they are evidently stronger than Saint Lucia. I believe Haiti has a significant opportunity to end this streak and secure victory in this match. My wager is a convincing win for Haiti with an individual total of over 1,5 goals.
