Jamaica has been incredibly consistent throughout their recent appearances at the CONCACAF Gold Cup, and they could be primed for another charge this year. They picked up a win in their opening match, and a victory in the second round of matches could assure their place in the knockout round.
Before Betting On Jamaica vs Trinidad & Tobago
Jamaica have shown throughout their history in the Gold Cup that they should be taken very seriously, and they could potentially be an outside selection to win the competition this year. They have never previously landed Gold Cup glory, but a lot of confidence would have been taken from their opening night draw against the United States.
It was a match that they potentially should have won, as they opened the scoring after just 13 minutes through Damion Lowe. However, the Americans equalized with just two minutes of the 90 remaining to snatch an important draw in their race to finish at the top of the Group A standings. Jamaica made it through to the quarterfinals in the previous edition, while they have reached the semi-final stage in three of the last four.
Trinidad and Tobago were the big winners following the opening round of matches in Group A, as they were the only nation to pick up maximum points. That has given them an excellent chance to end their recent pain of being eliminated at the first hurdle, as they haven’t made it past the group stage in each of the previous two events.
They were the clear favorites in the betting in their opening match against Saint Kitts and Nevis, and they made no mistake by claiming a 3-0 win. Alvin Jones opened the scoring before the half time break, before an own goal and Ajani Fortune cemented maximum points on the opening evening of matches.
