Jamaica vs Venezuela Prediction and Betting Tips | 30th June 2024
Jamaica and Venezuela will clash in a dead-rubber contest in Group B of the 2024 Copa America on Sunday. Venezuela's impressive form has seen them already book a berth in the quarter-finals of the tournament.
Meanwhile, Jamaica will get on their return flights after this game after having lost both of their group-stage games so far.
The Reggae Boyz headed into 2024 Copa America with cautious optimism. But the confidence that came from picking up consecutive wins in their last three matches across all competitions ahead of the tournament fizzled out rather quickly.
After conceding a 1-0 loss to Mexico in their group-stage opener, a 3-1 defeat against Ecuador in the subsequent match sealed Jamaica's fate. However, they still have pride to fight for on Sunday against Venezuela, who have been one of the surprise packages of the group stage.
Venezuela have already made it to the quarter-finals of the Copa America for the third time in the last four editions.
They kicked things off with a 2-1 win over Ecuador on matchday one and followed it up with a 1-0 victory over Mexico to set up the possibility of making it to the knockout stages with a 100% record for the first time in their history.
Jamaica vs Venezuela Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

- Jamaica had won five successive games when even or trailing at the half-time break before the 2024 Copa America began. However, they have since lost two such matches on the trot.
