Barbados vs Aruba prediction
The Barbadians come into this one on the back of a couple of goalless draws against Dominica in friendlies in early-to-mid-May. They are now winless in four matches since finishing their CONCACAF Nations League group stage campaign with four successive victories, all four games coming against the United States Virgin Islands and the Bahamas.
Aruba, on the other hand, most recently defeated Cambodia by two goals to one in a friendly during the March international break. That ended what was a seven-match losing streak since they earned themselves a point in 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification, sharing a 2-2 draw with Saint Lucia in June 2024.
Barbados are one of the weakest sides in North America, and Aruba are on the same lines of that but perhaps slightly better, albeit, regardless of the match result, a low-scoring game is to be expected.
Barbados vs Aruba tip: Under 2.5 goals
