USA vs Jamaica Prediction & Pick

The United States heads into this matchup with much momentum following its Nations League victory. The Americans have now won four of their last five outings. On the other side, Jamaica is winless in its past nine matchups, having not tasted victory since a 2-1 win over Suriname on June 7, 2022.

Unfortunately for the Jamaican faithful, I don't see their country breaking its skid this weekend. The United States is the more talented team from top to bottom, proven by its winning four of the past five meetings between these countries. Furthermore, Team USA outscored Jamaica 11-3 on aggregate over that span.

Barring a total collapse, the United State won't have any issues winning here.

Final Score Prediction: United States: 3 | Jamaica: 0

USA vs Jamaica Best Bet

I'm taking the United States to cover the 1-goal spread as the best bet for this matchup. Jamaica just isn't that good of a team and has lost to Team USA by multiple goals in three of their past five meetings. With the Americans riding their latest momentum wave, they have what it takes to create some separation here.

Bet: USA -1 (+210)
