Prediction Haiti vs Nicaragua 2026 – Betting Tips for the WC Qualification Concacaf on 19/11/2025

Preview: Haiti hungry to consolidate, Nicaragua aiming to ride momentum

This Round 6 clash in the 2026 WC Qualification Concacaf carries clear narrative lines: Haiti arrives as the home favourite with momentum and a place near the top of the group, while Nicaragua travel in need of consistency after a bright recent victory. Haiti sit second with eight points from five matches, having scored seven and conceded six. Nicaragua are fourth with four points, four goals for and ten against. The numbers tell a story of a Haitian side that has been more reliable over the majority of the campaign, and a Nicaraguan team still looking for defensive stability.

Haiti’s recent results show they can grind out victories and keep opposition under pressure; on 14 November they beat Costa Rica 1-0, and their season form across competitions includes three wins, three draws and four defeats in the latest run. Nicaragua’s shock 2-0 win over Honduras on the same November date gives them confidence, but their group campaign includes heavy defeats and a 3-0 loss to Haiti only a month earlier — a reminder that the visitors have struggled against the Haitian setup. The H2H in this cycle reads Nicaragua 0–3 Haiti (10 October 2025), which underlines the gulf that has existed between these two sides in recent meetings.

Tactical outlook and key match dynamics

Expect Haiti to control tempo and territory. Their attacking metrics show a higher volume of total shots (157) and a superior shots-on-target tally (53) compared to Nicaragua (119 total, 33 on target). Haiti’s home attacking averages and a strong conversion footprint give them the upper hand in creating chances. Nicaragua, however, will be buoyed by a clean-sheet performance in their last outing and the best player rating for that win — Alyer López — suggests they can be organized and dangerous on the break when confidence is high.

Discipline and physicality could be a factor: Nicaragua average more yellow cards (yCaverage 2.00) than Haiti (1.22), which might open late-game windows if nerves creep in. Goal expectancy leans to the home side, but this remains a knockout-style group stage clash where single goals can decide table positions and momentum.

Betting context and smart reading of the market

Bookmakers make Haiti heavy favourites: Home at 1.31 (≈76.3% implied probability), Draw at 5.00, and Away at 9.50.
