Mexico vs Jamaica
Group C leaders and tournament favourites Mexico come up against Jamaica on Friday in a repeat of the 2015 CONCACAF Cup Final.
Mexico won on that occasion, 3-1, and the betting odds strongly suggest a repeat of that result. But the one thing you can guarantee with Jamaica is an athletic team and loud partying fans!
Coach Theo Whitmore starred in the great Jamaica team of the 1990s, scoring twice in the 1998 World Cup win against Japan, and he would love to see the current crop of Reggae Boyz play football games with the same passion and attacking flair. They did open their campaign with a 2-0 victory over Curacao but had to wait until the second half before strikes from Romario Williams and Darren Mattocks got them off to a winning start and launch the party in the stands.
With a modest ranking of 76th in the Fifa list, Jamaica have a tough task to beat a strong Mexico side; but they should give them a game, and certainly have enough to qualify from the group.
CONCACAF Cup holders Mexico already top Group C after beating El Salvador at San Diego’s Qualcomm Stadium last Monday. The pick of the goals was a wonderful volley from Elias Hernandez as Mexico eased to a 3-1 win.
I have a feeling the Reggae Boyz will push the favourites harder, but one thing’s for sure…they’ll certainly make some noise!
