In a crucial Group E encounter, Jamaica and Guatemala, both already qualified for the third round of CONCACAF World Cup qualifiers, will battle for group leadership and momentum heading into the final phase.

Jamaica, the Reggae Boyz, come into the match following a narrow 1-0 win against the British Virgin Islands, with Warner Brown’s 17th-minute goal keeping their unbeaten streak alive in the second round. They’ve also secured victories over the Dominican Republic (1-0) and Dominica (3-2), but trail Guatemala due to a lower goal difference. Despite their solid form, Jamaica have struggled to convert chances, managing just 15 shots in their latest match, highlighting the need for sharper attacking play against structured defenses.

Under Steve McClaren, who assumed the coaching role in July 2024, Jamaica have been in fine form, losing only two of 13 matches and remaining unbeaten in their last seven competitive games. A win against Guatemala would not only secure the group’s top spot but also serve as a strong statement ahead of the 2025 Gold Cup. The teams have a history of tight contests, splitting their previous World Cup qualifier meetings with 2-1 home victories each.

Guatemala, known as Los Chapines, have been equally dominant, earning nine points from three matches, including a commanding 4-2 win over the Dominican Republic, driven by Oscar Santis’ hat-trick and a header from Nicolas Samayoa. Outscoring Jamaica by eight goals in the group stage, Guatemala are in top form and eyeing their first-ever World Cup appearance, bolstered by the tournament’s expansion to 48 teams. However, they’ll need to lead their group in the next round or navigate the inter-confederation play-offs to achieve that dream.

Led by Luis Fernando Tena, Guatemala see this match as an opportunity to assert their dominance in Group E, especially with a rematch against Jamaica looming in the 2025 Gold Cup, where they’ll also face formidable opponents Panama and Guadeloupe. This clash promises to be a pivotal moment for both sides as they vie for supremacy and prepare for tougher challenges ahead.
