Reverse legs of September which saw Guyana and Trinidad pick up an expected pair of victories. 6 more points apiece should be the expectation again in October however there will be obstacles to face. Trinidad opens October against Bermuda, a team that has been a thorn in their sides the past few years and nearly eliminated them in 2010 qualifying. And Guyana must play 2 consecutive road legs after playing both September matches at home. Barbados and Bermuda are both in all likelihood eliminated at this point but both have the potential to be spoilers for the two front-runners in the group.

Post-October Standing Predictions:

Trinidad and Tobago-10 pts
Guyana-10 pts
x-Bermuda-2 pts
x-Barbados-0 pts

Going out on a limb here and I think Bermuda had the capability to cause some potential upsets playing 2 home legs in succession.
