Dominica vs Jamaica Prediction and Betting Tips | 9th June 2024
Jamaica visit the Windsor Park in Roseau to face Dominica in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers on Sunday, looking to build on their opening victory earlier this week. Ranked 55th in the world, the Reggae Boyz beat Dominican Republic 1-0 on Thursday.
Clermont Foot player Shamar Nicholson struck the only goal of the game in the 17th minute as it was enough to down their visitors.
Yet, the side only occupy the second spot in Group E, as Guatemala crushed Dominica 6-0 in the other game, and boast a goal difference of +6, five more than Jamaica.
Nicholson could be rewarded for his heroics with another start on the weekend, but West Ham's Michail Antonio could make way for Cory Burke.
Dominica, who are ranked 125 places below Jamaica, had gone five games without a loss, but have now lost back-to-back fixtures. Before the 6-0 drubbing at the hands of Guatemala, the island nation were also beaten 2-0 by Saint Vincent and the Grenadines in a friendly game a few weeks ago.
Following such a heavy loss in their first qualifying game, it's a no-brainer that Ellington Sabin's side sit rock-bottom on the table. They will be looking to bounce back here, but it will be easier said than done.
