Guatemala vs Jamaica Prediction & Pick

Soccer fans are in for a treat on Sunday as both Guatemala and Jamaica looked great in the group stage. Guatemala leaned on its defensive prowess to secure points as it posted two clean sheets. On the other side, Jamaica relied on its offensive power, racking up 10 goals in the three matches.

These countries haven't met on the pitch since 2012, either, so it's not even worth diving into the background of this head-to-head series. Guatemala was overlooked in Group D and proved everyone wrong, so taking on the role of an underdog is something manager Luis Tena's team is quite used to.

Th at mentality should lead Guatemala to force extra time in this one before Jamaica ultimately wins.

Final Score Prediction:'Guatemala: 1 | Jamaica: 2

Guatemala vs Jamaica Best Bet

Guatemala is a team that got by in the group stage thanks to its ability to adjust. It took notice of the game its opponent wanted to play and leaned into it. That was clear in a 0-0 defensive battle against Canada and a 3-2 offensive clash against Guadeloupe. Jamaica's strength is its attack, so Guatemala will have to score here. It helps that Jamaica has conceded a goal in seven of its last nine matches.
