18-year-old Omari Glasgow with three goals in two matches, and Trayon Bobb (one goal) have led the Jaguars attacking side, while Quincy Adams has been rock solid at the back.

Statistically, Guyana has tallied 14 goals in their previous seven matches, including these two Nations League clashes, at an impressive rate of two goals per fixture.

On the defensive end, the Guyanese have conceded eight times.

Even with their captain Ricardo Adé out, Haiti is still a formidable unit

On the other end, Ricardo Adé, Haiti’s star defender and captain, will miss the next two games versus Guyana because he does not have the required visa, according to Haiti Tempo.

Haiti’s Les Grenadiers last played in the Dominican Republic on June 7 and travelled from there to Guyana two days later for this encounter.

However, Adé does not have the appropriate visa to travel between the Dominican Republic and Guyana.

“Sorry because I won’t be there to fight with you guys on the field,” Adé tweeted on June 9.

Following the clash on Saturday, Golden Jaguars head to the Dominican Republic for the return fixture on June 14.

Following the round-robin group stage play, the League A group winners and runners-up (eight teams) and the League B group winners (four teams) will guarantee their participation in the 17th edition of the Gold Cup.

Furthermore, 12 other teams will have an opportunity to qualify for the tournament via the Gold Cup Prelims.

The Prelims will include the participation of the League A third-place finishers (four teams), the League B second-place finishers (four teams), and the League C group winners (four teams).
