Curacao vs Aruba prediction

Under the management of Dick Advocaat, Curacao have become the smallest country to ever qualify for the FIFA World Cup, both by population and size. The tiny Caribbean island recently took a lead against Scotland before being beaten 4-1 at Hampden Park last week.

They now face an Aruba side that most recently hammered Barbados by three goals to nil in the November international break, ending what was a three-match winless run of form for the minnows.

Aruba and Curacao shouldn’t be too far apart in terms of their footballing ability but that is not the case with Curacao utilising a heavy Dutch-influence in their squad and they should get themselves another win here.
