Bahamas v Saint Martin prediction

What to expect

Bahamas host Saint Martin in a CONCACAF Nations League clash on 23 September 2026. Both teams sit in the middle of the table, each looking to climb a few spots before the final round. The points are tight, so a win could move the victor up and push the loser down. On paper Saint Martin are the stronger side, with the numbers showing they are likely to score more and keep a clean sheet more often than the hosts.

Bahamas have been in mixed form lately. They beat the Cayman Islands 2-1 at home, then suffered a 0-3 defeat away to Bermuda. Their last two games were a 1-1 draw with the US Virgin Islands and a 0-2 loss to Trinidad and Tobago. In total they have scored three goals and let in eight over the past four matches, a run that leaves them vulnerable at the back and struggling to find the net consistently.

Saint Martin come into this game on a better run. They opened with a 3-0 win over Dominica, followed by a 2-2 draw with Grenada and a 4-1 victory against the British Virgin Islands. Their most recent match was a 2-0 away win over Saint Barthélemy, where they kept a clean sheet and showed they can finish chances. Across those four fixtures they have scored nine and conceded only three, indicating a solid attack and a defence that can hold up.

When the two sides have met before, the games have been open affairs with goals on both ends. The pattern suggests a match where the better side usually comes out on top, but there are still plenty of chances for the underdog to get on the scoresheet. Given the recent form and the statistical outlook, we expect another high-scoring encounter, with Saint Martin likely to dominate possession and create more opportunities.

Our pick is Saint Martin to win. The price of 1.12 matches our view of the game. The numbers give Saint Martin a 89 % chance of scoring at least once and a 89 % chance of winning, while Bahamas only have a 65 % chance to score at all. The price looks good and the risk is low. For this to go wrong, Bahamas would need to find a way to score twice and keep a clean sheet, something they have struggled to do in recent games. If that happens, the result could be tighter than expected, but we still feel Saint Martin are the safer bet.
