Before entering Copa America 2024, Jamaica won 3 consecutive matches. But after the first 2 matches, they lost all and scored only 1 goal. This result also stopped Jamaica in the group stage. Under coach Heimir Hallgrimsson, they have never lost 3 consecutive matches but now the prospect is very possible.
Jamaica became the eighth CONCACAF team to score in the Copa America, and it took the longest to do so: eight games. Canada took two, Costa Rica two, Haiti and Honduras two, Mexico and Panama one, and the United States three.
Jamaica are out of motivation and Venezuela still need points to top Group B. They have won both of their previous matches to secure a place in the quarter-finals. Fernando Batista could do what no other Venezuela coach has done in this tournament: finish the group stage with a 100% win record.
If they can beat Jamaica this weekend, Venezuela will equal the team record for the fewest goals conceded in the Copa America group stage (1 goal), equaling the achievements of 2016 and 2019. If they can top the group, Venezuela can avoid many strong opponents in the quarterfinals.
Head to head record
Venezuela won their only previous meeting with Jamaica at the Copa America, 1-0, in 2016.
Expected lineup
Jamaica: Waite; Hector, Latibeaudiere, Harding; Lembikisa, Lowe, Palmer, Marshall; Nicholson, Gray; Dixon
Venezuela: Romo; Amaburu, Ferraresi, Osorio, Navarro; Martinez, Makoun; Lacava, Savarino, Soteldo; Cadiz
The match between Jamaica and Venezuela takes place at 7:00 a.m. on July 1 (Vietnam time).
