Why Bet on Jamaica?

Jamaica has not played well and is practically the one team in Group B who has already punched their ticket out of the competition once the group stage ends. On matchday two, the Reggae Boyz found the back of the net for the first time in this tournament, but they are still seeking that elusive first point.

With three goals conceded in their previous match, it equaled the most the national team had ever allowed in a single Copa América affair while also equalling their biggest defeat (3-0 versus Uruguay in 2016).

Heading into this tournament, Jamaica had won three consecutive matches, but on Sunday, they could lose three in a row for the first time since Heimir Hallgrimsson took charge in September 2022.

Why Bet on Venezuela?

Against them comes the current leader, Venezuela, who landed victories over Ecuador and Mexico to pave their way into the knockout stage. They now play to secure first place and see if they can get full points in a Copa América group stage for the first time in their history. Fernando Batista can do something that no Venezuelan manager has ever done at this tournament by getting a 100% record in the first three games.

La Vinotinto will play in the knockout stage for the third time in the last four editions of this tournament after putting together another solid outing on Wednesday. Their win over Mexico was the first time this team had claimed a clean sheet victory in this competition since a 1-0 triumph over Uruguay when this tournament took place in the United States in 2016.

Final Betting Analysis: Jamaica vs. Venezuela

La Vinotinto has never lost to the Reggae Boyz outside the Caribbean, winning their only prior meeting against them at the Copa America, 1-0 in 2016.

Given that neither side has much to play for, we expect to see several new faces in the starting 11 this weekend.

Being written off at the start of this Copa América seems to have struck a chord with Venezuela, and we expect them to keep their momentum going against a Jamaican side seemingly frustrated by how this tournament has transpired for them. We’ll go for another 0-1.

Go for a victory for La Vinotinto at 3.20. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $220 for a total payout of $320.
