Why Jamaica is a Good Bet Versus the United States

Based on Jamaica’s recent form, the underdog in this isn’t playing well. However, we must dig deeper before declaring that Jamaica isn’t in good enough form to provide the upset victory.

In their last meaningful match, Jamaica drew 2-2 versus quality Mexico. The game happened in the CONCACAF Nations League tournament. Since then, Jamaica has prepared for the Gold Cup in a couple of friendly matches against Qatar and Jordan. So Jamaica’s form is better than it appears.

Why the United States is a Good Bet Against Jamaica

The United States is on fire. During the Nations League run, the Americans blasted Mexico 3-0 and Canada 2-0. Team USA beat their top two CONCACAF rivals a combined 5 goals to 0.

The feat is even more more impressive when we realize two starters, Weston McKennie and Sergino Dest, had to sit during the Nations League Final due to red cards received in the semifinal destruction of El Tri. The U.S. will look to dominate Jamaica.

Final Gold Cup Betting Analysis: United States vs. Jamaica

This is an interesting line. In the last head-to-head, these two drew, which might explain why the U.S. isn’t an over -200 chalk.

But the match happened in a FIFA World Cup qualifier in 2021. Since then, the U.S. has gotten much better. The United States run to the knockout stage at the 2022 World Cup, where the Netherlands beat the Americans 3-1, has bolstered the program.

Team USA has made great strides. So much so that even a quality squad like Mexico has trouble hanging with the Americans. The United States is an overlay at the current odds. Back the U.S. to win in regulation.
