- Curaçao overall record against non‑Concacaf nations stands at P22 W5 D5 L12, with their most recent such match a 7-0 defeat to Argentina in March 2023.
- Curaçao are unbeaten in their last six matches (W3 D3).
China vs Curacao prediction
China come into this one on the back of a slender 1-0 defeat of Hong Kong in June 2025. That victory made it just two victories and six defeats in their last eight matches.
Curacao became the smallest team to ever qualify for a FIFA World Cup in the autumn, beating off a challenge from Jamaica. Dick Advocaat has since left his role for personal reasons, though, replaced by former PSV Eindhoven boss Fred Rutten.
The Dutch influence in Curacao football remains strong and, such is the beauty of the sport, the tiny Caribbean island should topple the mammoth Chinese here.
