MIAMI. - As the June window continues, the picture is getting more clear in Concacaf Nations League League B as teams begin to seriously start dreaming of promotion -- or put plans in place to avoid relegation.
Thursday brings a slate of three League B matches with a pair of games in Group A and another in Group D.
That Group D tilt sees French Guiana, leaders after wins over Guatemala and the Dominican Republic, travel to meet a Belize squad still looking for its first points of the 2022-23 CNL.
French Guiana FW Joel Sarrucco scored the first goal in each game, with the goal in a 3-2 thriller over the Dominican Republic making him the all-time leading scorer in the competition for Les Yana Dokos.
Belize is yet to find the back of the net, and its own all-time leading CNL scorer Deon McCaulay will look to change that in the comforts of FFB Stadium at Belmopan.
Antigua and Barbuda vs. Cuba
The Group A picture sees Antigua and Barbuda on top of the group with a pair of victories, but the Benna Boys will put the perfect record to the test against Cuba at Warner Park in Basseterre, Saint Kitts and Nevis.
With Antigua and Barbuda GK Nick Townsend yet to concede, one goal has been enough in each of the first two games, but Cuba has scored in each of its matches, with Maykel Reyes finding a stunner in a losing effort against Guadeloupe and three different scorers finding the back of the net in a 3-0 victory over Barbados.
That Barbados squad is in action looking to bounce back from two setbacks to start the tournament. The Bajan Tridents face Guadeloupe at Daren Sammy Cricket Ground in Gros Islet, Saint Lucia. After Gregory Gendrey and Thierry Ambrose both were on the mark for Guadeloupe in the opener, the attack was kept scoreless against Antigua and Barbuda.
Both sides will look to find the decisive goal and make sure they keep their promotion hopes alive with a good result on Thursday.
