With Panama having won the group already, these games serve only to complete the schedule. It's Dominica's turn to play twice in a 3-team group and unfortunately for them, the bottom-dwellers must play both remaining matches on the road. Dominica has not scored in either of their qualifying matches so far this campaign, while surrendering 7 goals against, 5 to Panama in their last outing.

Final Standing Predictions:

a-Panama-12 pts
x-Nicaragua-6 pts
x-Dominica-0 pts

Dominica couldn't manage anything at home playing against competition who have both improved since they last played. No points for Dominica. They might not even manage a goal...
