French Guiana vs Belize Prediction 7 October 2026
🔊 French Guiana are nominally the home side in this match but will be playing at their opponents' ground: all Group D fixtures in this window are being held in Belize. On Saturday, on the same pitch, French Guiana beat Belize 2-0 to consolidate second place. First place earns promotion to League A and a direct berth at the 2027 Gold Cup, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines currently lead the group by three points.
Head-to-Head
📊 Over the last three years this pair have been swapping roles. In 2023, in League B, the Guianans won their group and were promoted to League A, while Belize finished bottom and were relegated to League C. A year later, Belize got their revenge in a play-in tie for Gold Cup qualifying, going through on aggregate (4-3). On Saturday, the roles switched again.
Head-to-head statistics French Guiana - Belize
French Guiana Team Overview
Stefan d'Urbano's side sit second in the group with six points, three behind leaders Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. French Guiana lost to them in the opening round but have won their two matches since. Their stated aim is to qualify for the 2027 Gold Cup - a tournament they have appeared in only once, back in 2017.
The team's situation is an unusual one. There are no home matches in the autumn window, with all four group games being played in Belize. The squad itself is also distinctive: French Guiana are full members of CONCACAF but not of FIFA, and the majority of the 22 players in the squad play in the local league.
Match Results: French Guiana
Belize Team Overview
Belize are third in the group with three points, three behind French Guiana. Their only win came in the opening round, when they were the away side against Sint Maarten. In their two home matches, Belize failed to score and took no points, losing to Saint Vincent and the Grenadines and French Guiana.
Belize's target is the same as their opponents' - the 2027 Gold Cup. Only the group winner earns a direct berth, with two further places in the qualifying tournament going to the best runners-up across League B. Saint Vincent and the Grenadines have moved six points clear, so the real contest for Belize is for second place.

Latest news
French Guiana
❓ There are no reports of injuries or suspensions for the Guiana side ahead of the match. The main question for D'Urbano is his attacking lineup. On Saturday, Guy Anakaba started on the bench, came on in the 54th minute and opened the scoring 24 minutes later.
Belize
❓ There were no official injury reports for Belize ahead of the return leg either. Woodrow West started in goal on Saturday, while Charles Tillett, who saved a penalty in the 2024 return leg, was left on the bench. After the break, Belize brought on Jordi Polanco, Horace Avila and Crysean Lopez, but the substitutions produced no goals.
Predicted Lineups
📋 French Guiana predicted starting XI: Romain - Colino, Bénis, Sini, Marmo - Charlec - Nozil, Andelmon, Vancayeseele, Soga - Sarrouco.
📋 Belize predicted starting XI: West - Smith, Lennan, Pagoada, Nembhard - Maywett - Avila, Polanco, Guerra, Sosa - Lopez.
⚽️ Goals Prediction
Belize have scored in 7 of their last 8 away matches. It has worked against French Guiana before too: in the 2024 play-in second leg in Paramaribo, Belize scored twice. Timing is also relevant: Belize have scored in the second half in 6 of their last 7 away Nations League matches. The French Guiana defence could be an obstacle, having kept clean sheets in their last two rounds. The pick is Belize to Score: Yes.
🚩 Corners Prediction
French Guiana's last 6 matches produced just 18 corners in total - nine for French Guiana and nine for their opponents. Across Belize's last 10 matches, there were 73 corners, with 45 of those taken by their opponents. A recent example: Saturday's meeting between these two sides in Belmopan produced just three corners between them. We are expecting fewer than nine corners. The pick is Total Corners - Under 8.5.
🟨 Yellow Cards Prediction
Referees showed just 8 yellow cards across French Guiana's last 6 matches - four to each side. Belize's numbers are higher: 32 yellows across 10 matches, with 15 of those going to Belize themselves. Their opponents over that same period received 17. We are expecting no more than three yellows between the two sides. The pick is Total Yellow Cards - Under 3.5.
📌 Editorial Prediction
Belize have gone unbeaten in 6 of their last 7 away matches in the Nations League. On Tuesday they are again listed as the away side, but the match is in Belmopan with their own supporters behind them. They cannot afford to slip up: a defeat would see them fall six points behind French Guiana. French Guiana, for their part, secured both of their group wins after the 78th minute. We expect a hard-fought match from which Belize will take at least a point. The bet is Belize not to lose. Predicted score - 1:1.
