Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 2-0
Guadeloupe
Jamaica will be looking to make amends for a 1-0 loss to Guatemala when they take on Guadeloupe at PayPal Park. The Reggae Boyz face a must-win situation in their second group game and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against Guadeloupe. Fit-again forward Michail Antonio is once again expected to start from the bench, while defender Dexter Lembikisa could sneak into the starting XI.
Les Gwada Boys, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 5-2 loss to Panama and given Jamaica’s need for points, home win should be considered. Hesperange forward Florian David is pushing for a start after scoring as a substitute against los Canaleros, while there are no fresh injury worries in Jocelyn Angloma’s team. In their last meeting at the Gold Cup (2021), Jamaica defeated Guadeloupe 2-1 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself.
Highlighted Player (Leon Bailey):
Leon Bailey is a Phoenix All Stars Academy product who was born in Kingston on August 9, 1997. The Jamaica international played for the likes of FC Liefering and Trencin during his youth career, but he made his senior debut with Belgian side Genk in August, 2015 in a 3-1 win over Saint-Truiden.
The pacey winger quickly established himself as one of the best players in the Belgian top flight, but he scored only 8 goals in 56 appearances for Genk from 2015 to 2017. In the winter of 2017 Leon Bailey signed a deal with Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen for a fee of €20 million. Bailey is a left-footed footballer, but he is capable of playing on both sides of the field.
The Bayer Leverkusen winger made one appearance for Jamaica U23 team, but he eventually refused to represent the Reggae Boyz at senior level as he has personal problems with the association. It has to be noted that Leon Bailley scored 12 goals in 34 appearances for Bayer Leverkusen in the 2017/2018 Bundesliga season.
Highlighted Team (Jamaica):
The Reggae Boyz are enjoying in their 2014 Copa Centroamericana title and are looking forward to their second-ever entry into the Copa America. Jamaica took positives from their debut in the competition last year in Chile despite going out in the group stage and will now be willing to make one step further.
The country had more success later in the summer when Winfried Schafer’s men knocked off the United States in the semi-finals of the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup. The Reggae Boyz were ultimately stopped in the final as they lost to Mexico, but the ticket to 2016 Copa America was enough of a reward itself as four highest finishers were guaranteed a place at the competition.
Jamaica stepped onto the international scene with a 2-1 win over Haiti in 1925 and have so far qualified only once for the FIFA World Cup in 1998. It was not until 1965 that Jamaica made their first attempt to qualify for the World Cup though.
