In the early hours of Thursday, Ecuador and Jamaica clash in the Copa America Group B in what could be a definitive game in the race for a place in the knockout stages.
EcuadorLa Tricolor began their Group B campaign with a 2-1 defeat against Venezuela, which makes this encounter even more crucial. The loss ended Felix Sanchez's team's short two-game winning run.
Their recent matches have been high-scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in their last three outings.
Considering their recent history at the Copa America, Ecuador’s defeat in the opener may not be a massive surprise. They are winless in ten games in the competition, having claimed just four draws and suffered six defeats.
Their recent games in the Copa America have been high-scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in four of their last five matches.
JamaicaThe Reggae Boyz lost 1-0 in their Group B opener against Mexico, ending a three-game winning streak. Jamaica’s recent games have been relatively low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in three of their last four international outings.
The loss was a rare defeat, as the Caribbean team has suffered just one defeat in their last eight games in 90 minutes.
Jamaica's recent record at the Copa America is woeful. In fact, they have lost all seven of their games in the competition. Their recent problem in the Copa has been scoring goals, as they have drawn a blank in all seven of their losses.
The lack of goals has contributed to six of their last seven Copa America games producing under 2.5 goals.
What am I backing?This could be a close and low-scoring encounter, with little between the teams. With that in mind, the bet that I am backing is under 2.5 goals scored.
