Jamaica vs Canada Prediction
Jamaica were impressive as they booked their spot in the last eight of the Nations League. The Reggae Boyz will hope they can continue their form as they come up against improved opposition.
Canada, were poor in their defeat to Japan and a repeat here could see them struggle against their in-form hosts. A positive first leg result would put the winner in good stead to progress to the last four and both sides will go all out to claim the victory here.
Both managers have plenty of attacking talent at their disposal and the game could be played at a high, expansive pace. We are backing the spoils to be shared.
