El Salvador
Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-0
Antigua and Barbuda
Estadio Cuscatlan will host Wednesday’s WC qualifier between El Salvador and Antigua and Barbuda. La Selecta aim to retain top position in the standings, but this match will be anything but a walk in the park for the Group A leaders. David Antonio Rugamas is widely expected to return to the starting XI after scoring a hat-trick in the 7-0 win over Virgin Islands.
Antigua and Barbuda, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Virgin Islands and Grenada. Despite failing to find the net in the 1-0 triumph over Grenada, Peter Bryers should continue to lead the line for the visiting team. Anyhow, we are tempted to put our money on El Salvador as they are a real force to be reckoned with at home. The two teams have never met before in a competitive match.
