Meanwhile, USVI will be aiming to eliminate BVI from World Cup Qualifying for the second time in their history after having previously accomplished that in 2011 on the road to Brazil 2014.
The second match of the day pits Turks and Caicos Islands taking on Anguilla in the Turks and Caicos Islands. A scoreless draw was the result of last week’s first leg, bringing a halt to Anguilla’s 11-match losing streak in World Cup Qualifying.
Both teams are hoping to win a World Cup Qualifying series for the first time ever. Turks and Caicos Islands did win a qualifying match in the road to South Africa 2010 when they defeated Saint Lucia 2-1 in the first leg of their two-legged series.
