Nicaragua take on Barbados at the Estadio Nacional de Futbol in the CONCACAF Nations League on Tuesday, with both sides looking to win the game.
Nicaragua are currently second in Group B, having beaten the Dominican Republic 2-0 in their opening game. Marco Antonio Figueroa's side will look to continue their strong start with a win against Barbados on Tuesday.
Barbados, on the other hand, had a poor start to their campaign, losing 3-2 in their opening fixture against Montserrat. Orlando Costa's side will be aiming to bounce back with a win against Nicaragua on Tuesday.
Both sides will be determined to win the game with their respective objectives in mind, and that should make for an interesting matchup.
Nicaragua vs Barbados Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- Nicaragua came away as the winners in the only other time the two sides went head-to-head back in March 2019. Juan Barrera's goal was enough to secure the win on the night.
- Nicaragua snapped a three-game winless streak with their win against the Dominican Republic last time out.
- Nicaragua have scored eight goals in their last five games and should find the back of the net in this match.

Nicaragua vs Barbados Prediction
Nicaragua have been in better form than Barbados in recent times and that should come to the fore during the game on Tuesday.
Barbados have had trouble defensively of late, and with Nicaragua scoring eight goals in their last five games, Costa's side could struggle in the game this week.
