Antigua and Barbuda will host Puerto Rico in a CONCACAF Nations League fixture on Saturday (November 18th).
The hosts will be looking to get back to winning ways following their 2-2 draw at home to the Bahamas in October. Nathan Wells put the Bahamians ahead in the fifth minute but Josh Parker and Thomas Bramble scored and assisted each other to put the home side 2-1 up. Nahum Johnson stepped off the bench to draw the game level in the 81st minute.
Puerto Rico, meanwhile, fell to a 3-1 defeat away to Guyana. They went ahead through Gerard Diaz's 41st-minute strike but a second half fightback saw Nathan Moriah-Welsh, Deon Moore and Omari Glasgow all score to complete Guyana's comeback.

Antigua vs Puerto Rico Prediction
Antigua are out of the running for promotion to League A. However, they have a three-point advantage over bottom-placed Bahamas but if the Bahamians pick up a shock win against Guyana, then the dynamics of the group could change.
Puerto Rico do not have much left to play for in the group but still have an outside shot at finishing top of the group. This would require an unlikely sequence of results, including a victory being a must here.
Charlie Trout's side claimed a comfortable home win in the reverse fixture but are unlikely to have it that easy this time around. We are backing the two sides to cancel each other out in a stalemate.
