Ecuador suffered a 2-1 defeat to Venezuela in their opening match after captain Enner Valencia received a red card early in the first half. This was their third defeat in the last 11 matches.
In Copa America alone, Ecuador has not won in the last 9 matches. Overall, the form of coach Felix Sanchez Bas and his team before this tournament was not bad, but they seemed to be at a disadvantage when entering the continental arena.
If Ecuador loses to Jamaica, they will say goodbye to Copa America 2024. The same thing happened to Jamaica, when they lost their opening match against Mexico.
In their seven Copa Americas, Jamaica have failed to win a single point and have failed to score a goal during that time. Heimir Hallgrimsson's side are still looking for their first win in the tournament.
Jamaica have improved a lot since Hallgrimsson took charge two years ago. He led Jamaica to third place in the CONCACAF Gold Cup. Notably, they had two important victories in the 2026 World Cup qualifying round in North and Central America and are currently second in Group E.
Although rated weaker than their opponents, Jamaica can still create difficulties with their solid defense.
Head to head record
This will be the fifth time Jamaica have met Ecuador in international competition. Jamaica have lost four of those meetings, with the only result being a 0-0 draw in a friendly in August 2009 in New Jersey.
Expected lineup
Ecuador: Dominguez; Preciado, Torres, Pacho, Hincapie; Gruezo, M. Caicedo; Minda, Paez, Sarmiento; Rodriguez
Jamaica: Waite; Bernard, Latibeaudiere, Pinnock; Lembikisa, Decordova-Reid, Anderson, Leigh; Nicholson, Gray; Antonio
The match between Ecuador and Jamaica takes place at 05:00 on June 27 (Vietnam time).
