Dominican Republic vs Dominica

The 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers are ongoing, and on Wednesday, the Dominican Republic will face Dominica in a Group E match at the Felix Sanchez Olympic Stadium.

The Dominican Republic sits third in the group, with Dominica in fourth, each team holding three points.

Coming off a 4-2 defeat to Guatemala in their most recent World Cup qualifier, the Dominican Republic saw their impressive nine-game unbeaten streak across all competitions come to an end. That run included eight wins and one draw.

Considered a golden era for Los Quisqueyanos, the team excelled in the CONCACAF Nations League, winning all six matches to earn promotion to League A. However, their World Cup qualifying campaign has been less consistent.

Despite the recent loss, the hosts are favored to rebound, having won their last four encounters against Dominica. Their attacking prowess, with 37 goals in their past 10 games, further boosts their confidence.

On the other hand, Dominica is riding high after a 3-0 win over the British Virgin Islands, snapping a seven-game winless streak and securing their first victory in the qualification round.

Both teams are out of the running for World Cup qualification, so Wednesday’s match is about pride. Dominica will also aim to secure their first win against the Dominican Republic since October 2010.

Still, the visitors face challenges in their attack if they hope to claim a second win in the qualifiers.
