Jamaica vs USA Betting Tips: Latest odds, team news, preview and predictions

Jamaica will be hoping to reach their third consecutive Gold Cup final when they take on USA in Nashville on Wednesday.

The Reggae Boyz have finished second in each of the last two tournaments, losing out to this very opposition two years ago.

Predictions

However, having run out 1-0 winners in the most recent friendly encounter just last month, they are available at 6/1 (7.00) with 888Sport to exact revenge by coming out on top at the Nissan Stadium.

Gregg Berhalter's men are aiming to pull level with Mexico by lifting this trophy for a joint record seventh time, and are 1/2 (1.50) favourites to move one step closer with a semi-final victory.

None of the last nine encounters between this pair have resulted in draws, but you can get odds of 5/2 (3.50) on this one finishing up all square.

Team news

Darren Mattocks will be pushing for a place in the team after coming off the bench to score the winner in the quarter-final against Panama.

Having changed the entire line-up for the final group game against Panama, Berhalter reverted to his first side for the quarter-final victory over Curacao and is likely to stick with that here.

Preview

The Stars and Stripes were made to work hard in a frustrating quarter-final against Curacao, running out 1-0 winners for their second match in succession.

Similarly, Theodore Whitmore's team has struggled to hit top form in front of goal en route to the final four, finding the net from open play just once in the three games since their 3-2 opening win over Honduras.

However, both sides have largely proved solid at the back, with USA yet to let in a single goal in this tournament and Jamaica conceding only once in the three most recent fixtures.

Predictions

All in all, odds of 41/20 (3.05) look like solid value on under 1.5 goals being scored for the third meeting in four between this pair.
