Why This Match Matters
This is the final group-stage match for both teams, and the stakes could hardly be more different. Curacao leads League A Group A with nine points, level with Haiti but ahead on goal difference. One more point guarantees the Blue Wave a top-two finish and a November quarterfinal berth. Curacao has already secured at least a Gold Cup Prelims spot.
Trinidad and Tobago, meanwhile, is winless and out of quarterfinal contention after three straight defeats. The Soca Warriors are playing for pride, a first point of the campaign, and their League A status, with the bottom two group finishers dropping to League B. A first win would also keep them in the hunt for a Gold Cup Prelims berth depending on results elsewhere.
Recent Form
Concacaf Nations League group stage only, most recent first.
Curacao has been the group’s standout team. Advocaat’s side beat Trinidad and Tobago 1-0 in Willemstad on October 1, with Juninho Bacuna scoring in the 58th minute from a Tahith Chong assist and Eloy Room preserving the clean sheet before a sellout crowd of 7,662. Earlier wins came 6-1 over Nicaragua on September 27 and 4-3 at Costa Rica on September 24. Eleven goals in three matches tells the story.
Trinidad and Tobago has competed without reward. Derek King’s team lost 1-0 at Curacao on October 1 despite nine saves from goalkeeper Denzil Smith. That followed a 2-1 home defeat to the Dominican Republic on September 27 and a 3-2 loss at Haiti on September 24.
Team News
Trinidad and Tobago will be without Dantaye Gilbert, Noah Powder and Daniel Phillips through suspension. Gilbert was sent off in the 71st minute in Willemstad after receiving his second yellow card, Powder misses out through accumulated yellow cards after his stoppage-time booking was his second of the window, and Phillips is also suspended, per Wired868. Michel Poon-Angeron’s yellow card was his first, so he remains available.
The injury list has grown well beyond the two long-term absentees. Captain Levi Garcia, Tyrese Spicer, Dante Sealy, Josiah Trimmingham, Roald Mitchell and Nathaniel James are all sidelined; Rio Cardines has returned to Bristol City with a groin injury and Déron Payne has gone back to his club, per Wired868. Andrew De Gannes was substituted with an injury on Thursday, though Derek King did not rule him out for Sunday. Kobi Henry remains an option in the squad, and Denzil Smith kept Trinidad and Tobago in the reverse fixture with nine saves.
Curacao welcomes back Jordi Paulina, who served a one-match suspension for two yellow cards in the opening matches. Leandro Bacuna and Juninho Bacuna each carried one yellow into the October 1 match, but Curacao finished that night with zero cards, so both are available. Attacker Nigel Thomas did not join the squad for this window because of a shoulder injury, and Advocaat continues to manage playing-time limits imposed by some players’ clubs.
Head-To-Head
The teams met just three days ago in Willemstad, where Curacao won 1-0 through Juninho Bacuna’s second-half strike. Curacao also won the previous Nations League meeting between the sides, a 5-3 victory at the same stadium in 2023.
What to Watch
The central question is whether Trinidad and Tobago’s defense can hold up against the group’s most productive attack. Curacao has scored 11 goals in three matches, while the Soca Warriors have conceded six and now lose three starters to suspension.
For Curacao, the subplot is squad management. With qualification nearly secured and clubs limiting minutes, Advocaat may rotate, but the Blue Wave will want the point that removes all doubt. Juninho Bacuna and Tahith Chong, scorer and creator of Thursday’s winner, are the form players to watch.
Prediction
Prediction: Curacao 2-0 Trinidad and Tobago. Curacao won the reverse fixture on the road test already passed, is unbeaten in the group, and faces a home side missing three starters to suspension and its captain to injury.
