Guatemala vs Jamaica Prediction 9 July 2023

The program of the CONCACAF Gold Cup quarter-finals will continue in Cincinnati, where the national teams of Guatemala and Jamaica will compete for a ticket to the next stage.

Guatemala is a strong middle-tier side in the region, which did not stop them from surprising many in the group stage. Seven points in the confrontations with Cuba (1:0), Canada (0:0) and Guadeloupe (3:2) allowed the Sky Blues to finish first in their quartet and get an easier opponent in the playoffs.

However, Jamaica cannot be called such, since in the previous two official meetings it crushed Trinidad and Tobago 4:1 and St. Kitts and Nevis 5:0. And in the first round, the Reggae Boys drew an honorable 1:1 draw with the United States, which is why they could not rise above the second position.

The level of opponents is about the same, and in attack they feel much more comfortable than in defense. We predict open football with an exchange of effective actions.
