Trinidad and Tobago: late defeat and a deepening crisis
In the opening round, Derek King’s team came very close to defeating Haiti. Levi García put Trinidad ahead 2-1 in the 60th minute, but the visitors equalized in the 91st minute and scored the winner in the 98th.
That defeat was their seventh in a row, while their winless run has now reached ten matches. Trinidad and Tobago have conceded 24 goals in their last seven games, with their most recent victory coming in October 2025, when they beat Bermuda 3-0.
Dominican Republic: confident start and strong run
The Dominican Republic began the current campaign with a 3-2 victory over Nicaragua. Heinz Morschel and Mariano Díaz gave the team a two-goal lead within the opening 15 minutes, and after the opponents levelled the score, Pablo Rosario secured the win in stoppage time.
This was the team’s first victory in 2026, but their overall form looks significantly more stable than that of their opponents. The Dominican Republic have lost only one of their last six matches, while in the previous Nations League cycle they won six straight games in League B and earned promotion.
Match facts
- Trinidad and Tobago are winless in their last ten matches.
- The hosts have conceded 24 goals in their last seven games.
- The Dominican Republic have lost only one of their last six matches.
The hosts’ defense could crumble again: prediction for Trinidad and Tobago vs. Dominican Republic
Trinidad and Tobago showed that they are capable of creating chances and scoring goals, but their defense is far too unstable at the moment. Even after taking the lead against Haiti, the team failed to hold on to the result and conceded twice in stoppage time.
The Dominican Republic, by contrast, head into the match on the back of a victory and have looked more convincing overall in their recent results. If the visitors once again make efficient use of their chances in attack, the hosts’ long winless run could continue.
