Jamaica vs. USA Props: Pepi to Enhance International Scoring Record
Ricardo Pepi is one of the bright new stars in the USMNT. The 21-year-old will likely play an important role in the forward line Mauricio Pochettino deploys in Jamaica on Thursday evening.
Pepi has been in excellent scoring form for Dutch club PSV this season, netting six goals in eleven league appearances.
Meanwhile, the forward has also caught the eye for the USMNT. He has scored eleven goals in just 31 appearances. He will be favored to take his chance this weekend in the absence of Folarin Balogun.
Jamaica vs. USA Props: Holgate’s Fitness a Concern
Mason Holgate has played just four times for West Brom in the Championship this season. Therefore, his fitness will be a concern against a lively forward line boasted by the USMNT.
Holgate will either be deployed in the right-back position, or he could deputize in the middle of the defense.
The defender has played limited minutes across the last couple of seasons, but he has picked up three yellow cards in 13 matches.
Jamaica vs. USA Props: McKennie to Try His Luck From Range
Despite typically playing in a holding role, Weston McKennie is no stranger to finding the net for the USMNT.
The Juventus midfielder has scored eleven goals in 56 national team appearances, and will be a guaranteed starter in Jamaica on Thursday.
The 26-year-old has averaged 0.6 shots per game across all matches this season, with that average slightly higher at 0.7 for the USMNT. A bet for McKennie to have a shot on target looks like a strong chance.
