Jamaica vs USA: Nations League Match Prediction
The first match of the CONCACAF Nations League quarterfinals will feature the national teams of Jamaica and the USA. The American team has won all three editions of this tournament. Will the Jamaicans be able to defeat the eternal champion in the first match of the playoffs? What result can we expect in Kingston on November 15? The answer is in our prediction for this match.

Command Analysis

Jamaica

Current form
The Jamaican national team has a good standing in CONCACAF and is considered one of the strongest teams in the region. The squad includes a number of notable players, mostly from various English leagues. The team head coach is Steve McClaren, who should also be familiar to fans of English football. Unsurprisingly, the hosts took first place in their group in the League of Nations. However, this was not easy to do - the Jamaicans were only one point ahead of their opponents from Honduras and Nicaragua. Unfortunately, they failed to shine at the recent America Cup - Jamaica lost all three matches in the tournament, failing to cope with Mexico (0:1), Ecuador (1:3) and Venezuela (0:3).
Disqualifications and injuries
Jamaica have no problems with their squad heading into the playoffs.
Interesting trends for betting
- Jamaica have conceded just one goal in their last four matches.
- Jamaica has not lost to the USA in regulation time in their last three head-to-head meetings.
Probable lineup: Blake - Lee, Pinnock, Holgate, Lembikisa - Latibodier, Palmer - Gray, Magee, Campbell - Antonio

USA

Current form
The US team, along with Mexico, is the main force in Central and North America, which is why the Americans are constantly winning in the local League of Nations. In the last draw of the tournament, the American team beat Mexico in the final (2:0), and today opponent, the Jamaica team, took third place. This time, someone will have to fly out in the quarterfinals. As the current champion, the US team did not participate in the group stage and will begin their performance right from the playoffs.
The Stars and Stripes failed to achieve success at the America Cup, finishing third in their group. A 2-0 win over Bolivia was not enough to advance to the playoffs, as the team lost to Panama (1-2) and Uruguay (0-1) in their next matches.
Disqualifications and injuries
The visitors have no problems with their lineup before the start of the playoffs.
Interesting trends for betting
- The team has won only one of its last six matches.
- The Americans have lost their last three away games.
Estimated lineup: Turner - Scully, Robinson, Ream, Hansen - Musah, Busio, Morris - Tillman, Aaronson - Sargent

1.61Tip and bets
Jamaica is currently inferior to the USA in class, but the Reggae Boys can easily avoid defeat on their home field. The hosts have been playing quite well in recent matches, but the Americans have problems - in the last four friendly games they have only managed to beat Panama. We think that the support of their fans will help the Jamaicans achieve at least a draw and keep the intrigue in the confrontation until the return match.
Our prediction is Jamaica not to lose at 1.75
Bet on total
In recent matches involving today opponents, the total over is extremely rare. In face-to-face matches, teams also usually do not score many goals, so it can be assumed that today fate of the meeting will be decided by one or two goals scored. We suggest betting on the total under.
Our prediction is total under 2.5 goals for 1.60
Bet on the first half
The hosts have not conceded in the first half for five games in a row, while the visitors have not scored before the break in the last five games. We believe that these series will continue for the opponents and the teams will leave the main events for the second half.
Our prediction is a draw in the first half at 1.98
