Barbados vs Guadeloupe tips and predictions

Guadeloupe facing frustration against hosts

Many people have written off the home win but given the odds offered they are excellent value.

Barbados's chances might be few and far between. But there is always hope. The hosts have secured 7 home wins from their last 10 games. With differing fortunes the visitors have lost 4 of their last 5 matches, home or away. For a team so short in the betting, perhaps they'd be expected to have done better than this. If Guadeloupe come unstuck it will go down as a crazy upset but that chunky price looks generous.

Barbados are going to need some tremendously good fortune on their side. If the hosts can somehow have a bearing on the destiny of the match, it will be due to the confidence they gained from their recent performances. The home side is certainly in some form on their own paddock. They have scored three or more goals in 3 of their recent 8 home matches and they're doing something right. They've only conceded 3 goals in their last 10 games at home.

Guadeloupe have actually conceded at least once in all of their last 6 matches. It might be close but no cigar for the outsiders side but they really can do this.

Guadeloupe are obviously legitimate favourites but they are just too short to back. Ultimately football matches come down to which side imposes their will on the other. You may think the gulf in class here is big enough to drive a bus through it. However, the distance between the two sides isn't as significant as you've read. A half-chance is sometimes all it takes. Barbados are the value play.

It's always possible that this doesn't live up to the hype because of the clear favouritism for Guadeloupe. However, with the odds-against BTTS Yes price available that's probably the more interesting bet of the two from that market. How about the total goals? Well it's under 3.5 goals for this one given the latest prices.
