Curaçao host Nicaragua on 28 September 2026 at 03:00 in the second round of Group A in the CONCACAF Nations League. The hosts arrive in sharp form after a stunning comeback against Costa Rica in their opening match, trailing 3-0 at half-time before scoring four goals to win. Nicaragua lost their opener 2-3 away to the Dominican Republic and have not won in five matches across competitive and friendly fixtures.
Curaçao sit 82nd in the FIFA rankings and gained valuable experience at their World Cup debut earlier this year, drawing 0-0 with Ecuador despite defeats to Germany and Ivory Coast. They earned promotion to League A last season after finishing first in their group ahead of Trinidad and Tobago and Jamaica. Nicaragua rank 131st and finished bottom of their World Cup qualifying group. They retained their League A place last season but have struggled since, including two defeats at the Gold Cup.
Form and H2H
Curaçao have won three of their last ten matches with two draws and five losses, averaging 1.80 goals for and 2.30 against. Nicaragua won just one of their last ten, with two draws and seven losses, averaging 0.70 goals for and 2.20 against. The teams drew 0-0 when they last met in June 2017.
Best Bet
Back Curaçao to win by one goal or more. The hosts showed resilience and attacking intent in their comeback against Costa Rica and face a Nicaragua side without a win in five matches. At 1xBet, a Curaçao win is priced at 1.35.
