Guatemala vs Jamaica Predictions and Free Betting Tips from expert tipsters when they go head-to-head in the CONCACAF Gold Cup on Sunday, 9 July 2023.
The Jamaicans have been on fire since the start of the campaign. They started with a shock draw against tournament favourites and defending champions USA. And the two clashes after that were goal-fests. It goes without saying that they are hungry for more.
Meanwhile, Guatemala barely made it to the next round. They were held to a draw by the Canadians, while they registered narrow one-goal wins over the two minnows in the group. It feels like they are not at all ready for the firepower of the Jamaicans.
Jamaica have a 100% winning record that stretches back 25 years, barring a single fixture. Do also note that they scored two or more goals in every single h2h meeting till now, barring a single game.
Jamaica were pitted against defending champions USA in their opening game, who are also tipped to retain their title this time around as well. But against expectations, they pulled off a shock draw.
It would have been an upset win if not for a late goal by the Americans. Anyhow, the African team then went on a rampage in the remainder of the group fixtures. In fact, they had a combined scorecard of 9-1 from the next two games.
On the other hand, Guatemala barely made it to the knockouts. If not for the minnows in their group, they would have been eliminated in the First Round itself.
Moreover, they have a poor h2h record against this rival over the years too. In the past 25 years, the Jamaicans have a 100% winning record in all but one meeting. They also scored two or more goals in all but one clash as well.
By the looks of things, a win is expected for Jamaica.
Jamaica have a near-perfect h2h record against this rival over the past several years. As a matter of fact, barring a single fixture, they won every single meeting since 1998. And all of these wins came comprehensively too. The African squad managed to slot in two or more goals in 100% of these fixtures as well.
They are also in great form at the moment. After holding defending champions USA to a draw in their opener, the team registered a combined scorecard of 9-1 from the remaining two games.
On the other hand, Guatemala have been struggling with consistency for quite some time now. Neither have they been able to register wins consistently, nor have they been able to deliver decent defensive performances.
By the looks of things, a win is expected for Jamaica. Odds for the same are placed at 1.75.
