Jamaica vs Curacao
Jamaica will face Curacao on the Group C Concacaf Gold Cup’s last match day. Jamaica only needs a draw from this match to qualify for the next round.
Currently Jamaica is leading the Group C competition with a score of 4 points from 2 matches. Nevertheless, Jamaica’s position is still very far from safe because they are only ahead of the goal difference from El Salvador in second place and 1 point above Curacao in third place. Slipping in this last match can be fatal for Jamaica.
The competition to qualify for the next round is still very tight, but Jamaica actually benefits more than Curacao who will be their opponent on this last matchday. Facing Curacao, Jamaica only needs a draw to qualify for the next round. Jamaica also still managed to escape despite losing this match, with El Salvador losing in the hands of Honduras.
While Curacao, with a collection of 3 points they currently have, forces them to win if they want to qualify for the next round. With a 1-0 victory over the strong team of Honduras in the previous match, Curacao is ready to set foot on the quarter-finals.
Reflecting on the results achieved by the two teams in the previous two matches, Jamaica will be a little more favored than Curacao. But historically, Curacao is not an easy opponent for Jamaica. Evidently, in 12 meetings Curacao still dominated more by bagging 5 wins and Jamaica only won 4 wins. However, later Jamaica began to dominate by bagging 4 wins and only losing once in 5 meetings.
Our Prediction: Over 2.5
