Our prediction for this World Cup 2026 match:
Estadio Olimpico Felix Sanchez will host Saturday’s WC qualifier between Dominican Republic and Barbados. The hosts aim to keep their 100% record in Group D intact, and they are likely to go for a win against Barbados. Talented attacker Nowend Lorenzo, who scored a brace in the 6-0 win over Anguilla, is widely expected to lead the line for los Quisqueyanos, who are eyeing their third consecutive win over Barbados.
Russell Latapy’s charges, on the other hand, were anything but impressive in a hard-fought 1-0 win over Anguilla, with Saimovici scoring a late winner. Given Dominican Republic’s form at the start of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers, anything but a routine home win would be a major surprise. In their last meeting in a competitive match Dominican Republic outplayed Barbados 2-0, and we predict that the history is going to repeat itself.
