Young Warriors go for full points

The match carded to start at 5 pm, while group leaders Haiti will come up against Barbados two hours earlier.

Trinidad and Tobago struggled to overcome a combative Barbadian squad at the Manny Ramjohn Stadium, Marabella on Monday.

Coach Anton Corneal may be forced to tinker with his line-up in order for the team to prevail against the Dutch-speaking footballers.

If the hosts drop any more points this evening, then the clash against Haiti on Friday will determine whether or not Trinidad and Tobago progress to the final four phase on Sunday.

While Corneal seems to be keeping faith with mis-firing forward Daniel Joseph, it seems likely that midfielder Chad De Freitas may find his place on the right flank under threat by Daniel Cyrus and Jean-Luc Rochford.

On the left flank, Akeem Adams may be relegated to the bench if Corneal decides to use Marcus Joseph in the starting eleven.

Haiti lead the group following their 7-1 mauling of Suriname and, after they were held to a 1-1 draw by the Bajans, Trinidad and Tobago will have little choice but to seek a win this evening.

There are also a pair of Group “B” matches scheduled for the Dwight Yorke Stadium, Bacolet.

Jamaica, who spanked defending champs Canada 3-0 on Monday, will aim for another three points against Panama, at 3 pm while the Canadians will be looking to redeem themselves when they face Mexico two hours later.

The Mexicans began their campaign in the group with a 2-1 triumph over Panama.
