Guyana’s senior football team, the Golden Jaguars, will attempt to overcome history when they battle Antigua and Barbuda today from 17:00hrs at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in League B of the CONCACAF Nations League.
The contest will be the 10th meeting of the nations, with the visiting Guyanese contingent sporting a head-to-head record of three wins, two draws and four losses.
However, analysis of the aforesaid record reveals that Guyana’s last victory against the ‘Benna Boys’ occurred 13 years ago on November 2006 (6-0) in what was the fifth meeting of the teams. Their other two wins occurred on 24th February 2006 (2-1) and 26th February 2006 (4-1). Further examination indicates that the 176th FIFA ranked Guyana unit, who sit second in the group due to a superior goal differential, is winless in four consecutive matches against the 168th FIFA rated hosts.
