United States vs Jamaica

Q2 Stadium is the venue as the United States and Jamaica lock horns in a crunch CONCACAF World Cup qualifying match-up.

After being held to a brace of uneventful, low-scoring draws to El Salvador and Canada in their opening two World Cup qualifiers, the United States came from a 1-0 HT deficit to hammer Honduras 4-1 on the road last time out. Having kick-started their World Cup qualifying campaign, the ‘Stars and Stripes’ will now look to extend their three-match World Cup qualifying H2H streak. What’s more, they have won their last three overall H2Hs, prevailing by at least a two-goal margin twice in the process. However, the home fans may have to be patient here, as each of the USA’s five goals scored in this World Cup qualifying campaign arrived in the second half of play. Seeking their first World Cup finals appearance since 2014, Gregg Berhalter’s men cannot afford a slip-up here, as they sit level on points with fourth-placed Panama.

On the other hand, Jamaica overcame a 1-0 HT deficit to eke out a 1-1 away draw with Costa Rica last time out, halting a run of back-to-back World Cup qualifying defeats. Nailed to the bottom of CONCACAF’s World Cup qualification group, the Jamaicans are overwhelming outsiders here, having lost four of their last five competitive fixtures (D1). Jamaica’s scoring woes could pose another problem here, as they’ve failed to get on the scoresheet three times across those five matches, netting precisely once per game in the other two. Excluding their 2021 Gold Cup journey, the ‘Reggae Boyz’ are winless in their three competitive away games this calendar year (D1, L2), all of which featured a full-time margin of under 1.5 goals.
