Nicaragua vs Guyana Prediction and Betting Tips

Nicaragua and Guyana will battle for three points in a 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier on Friday (June 6th). The game will be played at Estadio Nacional de Futbol.

The home side are coming into the game on the back of a 1-1 draw with Puerto Rico in a friendly last weekend. They went behind to Darren Rios' 10th-minute strike while Bancy Hernandez drew the game level on the hour-mark.

La Azul y Blanco will shift their attention to the qualifiers where their last game saw them thrash Belize 4-0 away from home.

Guyana, meanwhile, have not been in action since falling to a 2-0 defeat away to Guatemala in the second leg of their Gold Cup qualifier in March 2025. Rubio Rubin and Erick Lemus scored in either half to help their nation overturn their first leg deficit to advance with a 4-3 aggregate victory. Their last game in the World Cup Qualifiers saw them claim a 3-1 home win over Belize.

The victory left them in third spot in Group D, having garnered three points from two games. Nicaragua lead the way at the summit with six points to their name.

Nicaragua vs Guyana Prediction

Nicaragua are winless in their last three games, losing two. Things have been much better in the World Cup Qualifiers as they aim to qualify for the Mundial for the first time in their history.

Guyana have the chance to draw level with their hosts with victory here. They would have been disappointed to have let a two-goal advantage slip in their Gold Cup qualification tie with Guatemala in March.

We are backing the home home side to claim a narrow victory with goals at both ends.
