Sint Maarten's picture looks very different. Across their last eight matches they've won only two, drawn two and lost four, shipping 14 goals along the way. Their most recent run in this Nations League window has brought four straight defeats, including back-to-back losses to St Vincent and the Grenadines.

French Guyana go into this one with far more defensive solidity behind them.

Head-to-head: an edge French Guyana have owned

The only two recorded meetings between these sides have both gone French Guyana's way. They won 1-0 just a few weeks before this preview was written, and before that thumped Sint Maarten 4-1 in 2023 Gold Cup qualifying.

What might shape this one

Sint Maarten's defence has been leaking goals at a rate of almost two per game across their recent sample, while French Guyana have kept things tight at the other end. That contrast, plus the head-to-head record, points towards an away side with more control over matches right now.

These are small samples from minor international fixtures though, and form in this kind of football can shift quickly from one camp to the next. Sint Maarten have shown they can win and draw in recent months too, so they're not without an answer if they tighten up.
