The United States is a powerhouse within CONCACAF, and given their roster, they are the top contender to retain the Nations League title—a trophy they’ve won in every edition held so far.

The first leg ended 1-0 in favor of the United States, with forward Ricardo Pepi scoring the goal.

This time, they have the advantage of playing in front of a home crowd in Missouri, one of the country’s most passionate soccer locations.

This match will also mark the debut of coach Mauricio Pochettino in an official game before his new fans. Expectations are high due to his experience, having represented Argentina as a player and managed prominent clubs such as Tottenham, Paris Saint-Germain, and Chelsea.

Under his leadership, fans hope the U.S. team’s strength in CONCACAF will finally extend to larger international tournaments. However, first, he’ll need to prove he can achieve the success previous coaches have.

Pochettino is also expected to elevate key players, including Christian Pulisic, who currently stands out with AC Milan.

Notably, the United States has not lost to Jamaica since 2019, with four wins and one draw since then.

Por que apostar na Jamaica?

Jamaica needs this semifinal qualification in the Concacaf Nations League, and, above all, they need to get past the United States to prove that their current talent can make a real difference.

At home, this team not only lost 1-0 but also suffered the loss of an important defensive player, Mason Holgate, who was sent off.

Recently,Jamaica’s performance has been disappointing. For instance, in the last Copa América, they didn’t make it past the group stage and lost all their matches, conceding seven goals.

Although they finished first in their Nations League group, it was only by a single point over Honduras. They scored four goals in four matches, with the main positive being their defense, which allowed only one goal.

With players like Demarai Gray and Michail Antonio, they should be delivering much more in terms of scoring.

However, coach Steve McLaren now has an addition who wasn’t previously available: Leon Bailey, a standout for Aston Villa in the Premier League.

After some friction with federation officials, Bailey has returned to the team to lend his skills in a challenging series against the U.S.

This matchup also comes with unfinished business, as the U.S. knocked them out in the last Nations League, where an own goal by Jamaica sent the game to extra time, leading to a 3-1 loss with two goals conceded in the added period.
