With a couple of losses to Nicaragua and Panama, Montserrat have started these WC qualifiers as expected. They are one of the weakest teams in their group and any points they win will be celebrated. Perhaps one of the best opportunities for a win comes in their next game when they will host Belize, another team that's bound to struggle in the qualifiers.

Belize preview: Hoping for a good showing on Wednesday
Just like their next opponent, Belize also started the qualifiers with a couple of losses, against Guyana and Nicaragua. While Belize have been in solid form earlier in the CONCACAF Nations League, where they won five games in a row, it was against much weaker competition. All in all, Belize are bound to finish their WC journey in this round of the qualifiers, but they certainly hope to win some points along the way.
