Jamaica secured all three points against Trinidad last time out thanks to Demarai Gray’s brace and one goal each from Leon Bailey and Dujuan Richards. It was Heimir Hallgrimsson’s first triumph as the boss of Reggae Boyz and the result as definitely put them in a strong position to qualify for the quarter-finals. A draw or a defeat by fewer than three goals is enough for the Jamaicans to reach the last eight. First place is still a possibility, though they might have to be ruthless in front of goal and run up the score to overtake USA, as the Yanks currently have a +6 goal difference, with the Reggae Boyz at +3.
Saint Kitts, on the other hand, in their first appearance at the Gold Cup, are discovering just how far they still have to go when it comes to competition with the elite CONCACAF nations. The Sugar Boyz started off with a 3-0 defeat to Trinidad & Tobago, before being thrashed 6-0 by USA on matchday two. Austin Huggins’ men looked unsure against a the reigning champions last time out, not registering a single shot on target, compared to 15 by the Yanks. Should they fail to find the back of the net on Sunday, the Sugar Boyz would become the first team since Cuba and Nicaragua in 2019 to end the group stage of this competition without a goal.
Jamaica probable starting lineup: Blake, Brown, Lowe, Pinnock, Lawrence, Reid, Russell, Gray, Antonio, Bailey, Parris
Saint Kitts and Nevis probable starting lineup: Archibald, Roberts, Maynard, G. Williams, Hanley, Sawyers, Burley, Somersall, T. Williams, Freeman, Bertie
