Puerto Rico vs Saint Vincent and the Grenadines prediction, H2H and probable lineups - June 11, 2025
Puerto Rico
Saint Vincent and The Grenadines
One of the key clashes of Matchday 5 in the 2026 FIFA World Cup CONCACAF qualifiers will take place on Wednesday at the Mayagüez Athletics Stadium, where Puerto Rico will host Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. Here’s a bet with solid odds and a strong chance of success for this intriguing encounter.
Match preview
Puerto Rico might not be considered among the CONCACAF heavyweights, but the team is making steady progress. They managed to stay in League B of the Nations League and kicked off World Cup qualifying on a confident note: a goalless draw away to El Salvador and a resounding 8-0 win over Anguilla—results that have exceeded expectations in recent years.
In their third qualifier, Puerto Rico traveled to Suriname and narrowly lost 0-1. Despite a five-match winless streak, they have shown solid form at home, and this game against an unpredictable opponent could be a turning point. Currently, Puerto Rico sits on 4 points, just three behind second place in the group.
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines are a classic mid-tier CONCACAF side. After a disastrous start to qualifying (losses to Suriname and El Salvador), they bounced back by thrashing Anguilla 6-0. The squad also notched up two friendly wins over Saint Kitts and Nevis and drew with the British Virgin Islands—boosting team confidence.
Offensively, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines have been effective—averaging 2.1 goals per match—but their defense remains vulnerable (conceding an average of 1.0 per game). While they did defeat Puerto Rico twice back in 1996, the current squad looks less stable, especially away from home.
Probable lineups
- Puerto Rico: Cutler — Paris, Calderón, Cardona, Rios — Idrach, Hernández, Rivera, Echevarria, Rivera — Antonetti
- Saint Vincent and the Grenadines: Davis — Burgin, Charles, Johnson, Lynch — Spring, Thompson, Anderson, Joseph, Pierre — Stewart
Match facts and head-to-head
- Puerto Rico are winless in their last five matches.
- Saint Vincent and the Grenadines have won four of their last five games.
- Both previous head-to-heads in 1996 were won by Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
Prediction
Both teams have attacking potential, but the difference in organization and defensive stability tilts the scales towards the hosts. On home soil, with the backing of their fans and the experience gained from recent matches against stronger opposition, Puerto Rico has every chance to break their winless streak. Our pick: Puerto Rico to win with a -1.5 handicap at odds of 1.83.
