Three teams aim for top spot as Group C race intensifies

MIAMI. - The race to win Group C in League B intensifies as the Road to the 2024 W Gold Cup concludes its October fixtures on Tuesday.

Bermuda and Barbados will face each other directly, while the Dominican Republic, who host Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, hopes to be as close to the top prior to the final matchdays.

Bermuda vs. Barbados

Bermuda hosts Barbados at the National Sports Center in Devonshire Parish, Bermuda.

Barbados drew 1-1 at home with Bermuda in the previous encounter. Aaliyah Nolan scored in the 24’ before Adrienne Forde equalized in the 47’ to share the spoils.

An away victory for Barbados would put both nations at seven points apiece, with goal difference deciding who is higher up the table. A Bermuda win would maintain the side at the top of the group and in pole position for the Prelims spot that comes with it in the qualification race for the 2024 W Gold Cup.

Dominican Republic vs. Saint Vincent and the Grenadines

The Dominican Republic and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines square off Felix Sanchez Olympic Stadium in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.

A big away result at Saint Vincent and the Grenadines has catapulted the Dominican Republic into the first-place race, one point removed from the top spot. A Dominican Republic victory would push the nation to the front of the group if Bermuda fails to win.

Jazmin Jackson scored a hat-trick and Kathrynn Gonzalez scored twice in the previous encounter with Saint Vincent and the Grenadines on Friday. Both players will try to continue to rise up the scoring charts, as will Vanessa Kara, who also has multiple goals in the tournament.
