Trinidad & Tobago vs Saint Kitts & Nevis: Head to head statistics

Trinidad & Tobago vs Saint Kitts & Nevis match preview
Group A’s two rank-outsiders kick off their Gold Cup campaigns in Fort Lauderdale, both desperate to make a winning start.
Trinidad & Tobago were given a last-minute spot at this tournament, replacing Nicaragua who were thrown out for fielding an ineligible player.
Angus Eve’s team had been preparing for the prelims, but were awarded direct entry into the competition, having finished one point below Nicaragua in Nations League B.
It’s been a tough few years for the Soca Warriors, most notable being eliminated in the first round of World Cup qualifying by a certain St Kitts & Nevis.
Not so long ago, T&T were amongst the strongest teams in this region, but now they haven’t won a Gold Cup match since 2015, exiting without a victory to their name in both 2019 and 2021.
Given that Jamaica and holders USA complete the Group A line-up, this is by far Trinidad & Tobago’s best chance to get three points on the board.
First, nine days ago, Austin Huggins’ side caused a big upset by ousting Curaçao in Florida, snatching a late 1-1 draw before prevailing on penalties.
Then, on Tuesday night, they were involved in another 1-1, this time with French Guinea in the prelim final, before another shootout success, scoring all four spot-kicks this time, sparking wild celebrations.
Carlos Bertie and Mervin Lewis converting from 12 yards in both ties.
So, the Sugar Boyz will feature at the Gold Cup for the very first time here, becoming the 24th of CONCACAF’s 41 members to appear at the finals.
As mentioned, these two nations met in the first round of World Cup qualifying two summers ago.
Trinidad & Tobago actually won that match 2-0 in Santo Domingo, but it was too little too late, with St Kitts & Nevis having already wrapped up top spot, thereby advancing to the next stage against the odds.
Overall, the Soca Warriors have won their last eight head-to-head meetings with the Sugar Boys and that streak is set to continue at DRV PNK Stadium.
Trinidad & Tobago team news
38 year old goalkeeper Marvin Phillip, who has over 90 caps to his name, will captain the side, featuring at a fourth Gold Cup, part of the team that reached the quarter-finals eight years ago.
Levi García is the Soca Warriors’ star attacker, having scored 18 goals for Greek Super League champions AEK Athens this season.
St Johnstone’s Daniel Phillips will make his major tournament debut for T&T, having missed the most-recent Gold Cup due to injury.
Predicted XI (4-4-2): Phillip; A. Jones, Bateau, David, Hodge; Phillips, Fortune, Molino, J. Jones; Corbin, García.
Saint Kitts & Nevis team news
Austin Huggins’ team may have the advantage when it comes to cohesion and match sharpness, having come through two prelim ties to get here.
Romaine Sawyers is the undisputed talisman of this team; he made 19 Premier League appearances for West Brom in 2020/21 and now plays for Cardiff City.
He’s one of nine squad members who ply their trade in England’s lower-leagues.
Omari Sterling-James is the danger man in attack, given that the Ebbsfleet United winger has scored four times for St Kitts & Nevis so far.
It’ll also be a huge moment for Raheem Hanley (Stalybridge Celtic), Jameel Ible (Guiseley), Andre Burley (Oxford City), Rowan Liburd (Ramsgate) or Jacob Hazel (Harrogate) should they feature.
Predicted XI (4-3-3): Archibald; Roberts, Williams, Burley, Ible; Somersall, Mitchum, Sawyers; Sterling-James, Williams, Hazel.
