Despite failing to keep a clean sheet in their last match against El Salvador, Montserrat are likely to retain their central defender pairing of Nico Gordon and Brandon Comley.
Captain Alex Dyer will continue to be the experienced factor in midfield, possibly partnering young talent Dominic Richmond.
With an impressive penalty save in the win over French Guyana in March, goalkeeper Charles Tillett is almost certain to continue playing for Belize.

Latest football prediction Montserrat vs Belize
During the 2024–25 international cycle so far, Montserrat have had to play the role of "underdog" in Nations League B, winning only 1 and losing 5 out of 6 matches, finishing bottom of the group and being relegated to League C.
The one bright spot of the campaign was a narrow win over underdogs Bonaire in October 2024, with the only goal in the 49th minute from former Birmingham City and Charlton Athletic player Lyle Taylor, renowned for his signature run-up to take penalties.
Since that victory at the Arnos Vale Ground in Kingstown, Montserrat have suffered three straight defeats to cap a forgettable Nations League campaign, meaning they will face the likes of the Cayman Islands or British Virgin Islands next season.
In the World Cup qualifiers, Montserrat's hopes of advancing are almost gone as they are 6 points behind Panama with only two matches left to play.
Under the guidance of coach Lee Bowyer – a familiar name to fans of the lower leagues in England – Montserrat won 4 and lost 8 of his 12 matches in charge. Bowyer was previously the manager of Birmingham and Charlton.
The situation of their opponent Belize is not much better. The away team has not yet earned any points after the first two matches of Group D and is facing the risk of being eliminated early from the CONCACAF World Cup qualifiers.
Their most recent defeat came on 11 June 2024, when Deon Moore scored twice and Walsall defender Liam Gordon scored as Guyana beat Belize 3-1 at the Wildey Turf in Barbados. Carlos Bernardez pulled a late consolation goal for Belize.
The 32-year-old striker has scored seven goals in 19 official matches for the national team since his debut in September 2019, and is looking for new inspiration in the national team shirt, with his club – CD Victoria (Honduras) – going through an eight-match winless streak.
In contrast to Montserrat, Belize had a fairly successful Nations League campaign from September to March, remaining unbeaten in all six matches (five wins, one draw) and will be in League B next season.
Belize's standout performer in that campaign was midfielder Jordi Polanco, who scored four goals – outscoring the likes of forwards Krisean Lopez and Orlando Velasquez (both two) in League C.
