 Bermuda vs. Antigua and Barbuda 

Bermuda meets Antigua and Barbuda in the first match of the day in Group D.

The Bermuda attack netted nine goals in its two October matches, which has the nation in the run for the top spot and promotion. Nahki Wells played a significant role with his hat trick and assist in that window, along with standout teenager Harry Twite.

Antigua and Barbuda is searching for its first win to help avoid relegation. Goalkeeper Nicholas Townsend is a bright spot for them, finishing the October play with 16 saves. 

Dominica vs. Dominican Republic

The Dominican Republic meets Dominica with a chance to seal the top spot, depending on the result of the earlier game. A Bermuda loss would open the way for the Dominican Republic to clinch promotion with just a point.

Dominica and the Dominican Republic have faced each other four times. The Dominican Republic leads the all-time series, winning three and losing one.

The group leaders aim to continue their unbeaten CNL run against a team they blanked 2-nil in September. Ronaldo Vásquez and Dorny Romero scored the goals in that encounter.

Júnior Firpo has been a critical player in the Dominican Republic’s success, contributing on both ends of the field. Dorny Romero continues to shine with four goals in the current edition and is the Dominican player with the most goal contributions in CNL history (13 goals and four assists).

Dominica is looking to avoid relegation and will look to goalkeeper Glenson Prince, the League B leader with 23 saves. Travist Joseph leads the team with two goals in the current campaign.
