Jamaica meets Honduras in round 1 of North & Central America Gold Cup. The match will be played on Tuesday, June 18th atIndependence Park (Kingston)
The Jamaica team is quite loved and known among Russian fans, but this team has changed in comparison with 1998. Yes, Jamaica has not advanced to the World Cups for a long time, but it is able to give a battle to a very large number of teams. Yes, there are offensive misfires, like a draw with Barbados, but, for example, Jamaica won the US team with a 1:0 score. Therefore, in my opinion, Jamaica can go far in this tournament.

Honduras is very unstable, as if the team cannot find itself. They can show very worthy matches, such as, for example, with Paraguay (1:1) or with Ecuador (0:0). But Honduras is falling apart in a game with a stronger rival (I'm talking about the 0:7 defeat to Brazil). Honduras, unlike Jamaica, was at the World Cups quite often (especially in the 2000s), but, in my opinion, the development of football in Honduras has now slowed down seriously.
The upcoming match will be very important for this group; first of all, it concerns the struggle for the first place. Yes, there will be a crucial match (Honduras-Salvador), but we will talk about it later. It seems to me that Jamaica will win the upcoming match, because it creates a holistic impression now. It is clear where the team moves, while Honduras seems to feel its own failures at the World Cup in Brazil; as if the team had some “baggage” left, which pursues it and does not allow not only to achieve results but also to find its own style.
Prediction for the match: Jamaica to win
