Jamaica Betting Preview
Jamaica was Argentina’s rival at the 1998 World Cup in France, but then failed to qualify for the top international event. They are 62nd in the FIFA ranking and finished sixth out of eight teams in the CONCACAF qualifiers for Qatar 2022. Their new coach is Heimir Hallgrimsson, Icelandic, who already faced the Argentine national team at the Russia 2018 World Cup and managed to lead his country to a historic 1-1 draw.
Jamaica’s last previous match against Argentina was at the Copa América in Chile 2015 (1-0 for the “Albiceleste”, with a goal by Gonzalo Higuaín).
Possible lineup (4-4-2): Dillon Barnes; Maliek Howell, Curtis Tilt, Adrian Mariappa, Richard King; Ravel Morrison, Daniel Johnson, Kevon Lambert, Bobby Reid; Leon Bailey, Michail Antonio.
Argentina Betting Preview
There is no doubt that Argentina is in a good place right now. The Copa América champion has a record of 34 undefeated matches and, if they defeat Jamaica, they’ll reach the record of 35 held by Brazil and Spain.
In their most recent friendly match, Lionel Scaloni’s team easily defeated Honduras in Miami, in a match marked by strong play. Regular starters such as goalkeeper “Dibu” Martínez, defenders Cristian Romero and Nicolás Otamendi, and striker Angel Di Mara have returned, bolstering a team that keeps growing with the brilliant Lionel Messi.
Possible lineup (4-3-3): Emiliano Martínez; Nahuel Molina, Cristian Romero, Nicolás Otamendi, Nicolás Tagliafico; Alexis McAllister, Guido Rodríguez, Giovani LoCelso; Ángel Di María, Lautaro Martínez, Lionel Messi.
JefeBet Prediction
Argentina’s national team will achieve the record of 35 consecutive unbeaten matches at the Red Bull Arena in New Jersey.
Jamaica is a historically tough team with a very physical game, but at JefeBet we believe that there will be no problem for Messi’s team to get a good result in their road to the World Cup.
Prediction: Argentina wins 2 to 0.
