Just eight teams remain in the hunt for CONCACAF Nations League glory for 2023-24, and the quarterfinals get underway with the first legs this week. A standout tie is set between Canada and Jamaica, as both nations will be looking to reach the final four over the next seven days.
Before Betting On Jamaica vs Canada
A thrilling quarterfinal showdown in prospect is set between Canada and Jamaica this week, with the first leg taking place on Friday evening. Canada will come into this international break with something to prove, as they have won just once in their previous six international matches. However, they know what it takes to go deep in the Nations League after reaching the final of the previous edition.
But, they will need to get back on track after a really poor display in their most recent international. Last month, they were easily beaten by Japan by a 4-1 scoreline, meaning that they have now lost each of their last two. But, they will be heavily favored to get back on track against Jamaica and book their spot in the final four.
Jamaica certainly appear to be the best chance of an outsider winning the Nations League next summer, as they have already shown this year that they have what it takes to go deep in a major tournament. Over the summer, they reached the semi-finals of the Gold Cup, before they were easily beaten 3-0 by Mexico in Las Vegas.
They have bounced back from that setback in excellent fashion after going five without defeat. Over that period, they have picked up three victories, which includes a 3-2 success over Haiti in the previous international break. However, they will need to raise their performance levels based on their previous showing, as they played out a 0-0 draw against Guatemala on Saturday.
