Jamaica v Canada Betting Tips
Well, Jamaica can be pretty happy with their progress past the group stage, even though the opposition levels in there weren’t great. After an opening victory over Curacao, they then held out to a good draw against the stronger Mexico. But punters will be wary because of the fact that they could only draw 1-1 with El Salvador in their final group stage match. So the Caribbean nation was a W1 D2 record from the group stage with just the three goals scored, but they did only ship one. That means goals aren’t expected in this one and under 2.5 goals at bet365 will return a price of 2/5. For Jamaica, Darren Mattocks has two goals in three games for them at the tournament, one of those was from the penalty spot though to equaliser in a 1-1 draw with El Salvador. The last time these two met at the Gold Cup, Jamaica stole a 1-0 victory on that occasion back in 2015.
Three of the last four meetings between Mexico and Jamaica have gone under 2.5 goals and each of those three were settled by a 1-0 scoreline, with two wins for Jamaica and the one for Canada. They have traded two wins in each in their last four meetings. A 1-0 correct score at bet365 for Jamaica is a price of 11/2 with a 1-0 for Canada at 5/1. A win for either isn’t likely going to be anything bigger than that. The Canucks also went W1 D2 in their group, finishing second behind Costa Rica. Their notable result was holding out for a 1-1 draw with Costa Rica, having taken the lead in the game. Canada’s Alphonso Davies has three goals in the tournament for them and his 9/2 in the anytime goalscorer market for this one with Jamaica’s Mattocks at 9/4. Th eight previous meetings between the two nations have been spilt at four wins each. Canada have won two of the three Gold Cup meetings through.

Jamaica v Canada Predictions
Canada to win: This could be a really close, but really entertaining game and it may just be worth siding with Canada who have looked pretty decent and they may just have that extra scoring to edge through to the next round.
