Jamaica vs Venezuela Prediction & Betting Tips | 01/07/2024 | Football

Our prediction for this Copa America match:

Jamaica

Jamaica

Venezuela

Venezuela

Venezuela will look to keep their 100% record at the 2024 Copa America intact when they take on Jamaica in their last group game. La Vinotinto proved their worth in back-to-back wins over Ecuador and Mexico, with the team already clinching top position in the standings, but they do not want to stop now. However, home win should not be considered as head coach Fernando Batista is expected to mix the squad. All Casseres, Machis, Cadiz, Angel, and Makoun are pushing for a start, while key attacker Salomon Rondon should start from the bench.

The Reggae Boyz, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-1 loss to Ecuador. Even though Jamaica missed out on a spot in the Copa America quarter-finals, we predict that they are going to grab something from Monday’s clash against Venezuela, who have little to play for this time out. Al Ettifaq winger Demarai Gray is widely expected to return to Jamaica’s starting XI following his fine display against La Tri.

Prediction:
1-1

Highlighted Player (Jose Salomon Rondon):

Jose Salomon Rondon

Over the years Jose Solomon Rondon has established himself as one of the best South American attackers. The Venezuelan striker was born in Caracas on September 16, 1989 and he played for San Jose de Calasanz at the start of his youth career. He played for the youth teams of Deportivo Guilima and Aragua as well and he continued playing for Aragua at senior level.

After scoring 15 goals in 15 appearances for the club, Salomon Rondon moved to Spain in 2008, signing a deal with La liga side Las Palmas and two years later he moved to fellow Spanish outfit Malaga. The left-footed forward scored 25 goals in 67 appearances in La Liga for los Boquerones, but in the summer of 2012 he moved to Russian club Rubin Kazan.

Despite failing to impress in 36 appearances for the Tatars, Zenit chiefs decided to bring Rondon to Sankt Petersburg in 2014 and it has to be noted that the Venezuela international scored 20 goals in 37 appearances in the Russian Premier League for the Zenitchiki. Salomon Rondon, who made his Venezuela debut in February 2008 against Haiti, currently plays for West Bromwich Albion in the Premier League.

Highlighted Team (Jamaica):

Jamaica

The Reggae Boyz are enjoying in their 2014 Copa Centroamericana title and are looking forward to their second-ever entry into the Copa America. Jamaica took positives from their debut in the competition last year in Chile despite going out in the group stage and will now be willing to make one step further.

The country had more success later in the summer when Winfried Schafer’s men knocked off the United States in the semi-finals of the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup. The Reggae Boyz were ultimately stopped in the final as they lost to Mexico, but the ticket to 2016 Copa America was enough of a reward itself as four highest finishers were guaranteed a place at the competition.

Jamaica stepped onto the international scene with a 2-1 win over Haiti in 1925 and have so far qualified only once for the FIFA World Cup in 1998. It was not until 1965 that Jamaica made their first attempt to qualify for the World Cup though.
