El Salvador vs Jamaica Odds

Odds as of November 12 at DraftKings

This places them just three points behind Panama which is in fourth place and therefore currently occupies the last of the qualifying places for the finals in Qatar next year.

With eight fixtures remaining for each side, both certainly have plenty of time to improve their fortunes – starting tonight.

Both Teams Have Only One Win

However, both of these nations have won only once so far. And it is El Salvador which is favored for a win by the oddsmakers at DraftKings, with a price of +145.

The Jamaicans, furthermore, are rated at +200 with the draw at an inviting +195.

These odds have been formulated despite the fact, moreover, that the Jamaican squad contains no fewer than 10 players from England’s powerful Premier League and EFL Championship.

West Ham United’s emphatically powerful hot-shot Michail Antonio is the third-leading goal-getter in the EPL this season with six strikes.

Aston Villa’s EPL attacking midfielder Leon Bailey is also available.

Forward Bobby Decordova-Reid of EFL Championship side Fulham and Reading’s center-back Liam Moore are also among the English-based contingent.

Striker Kemar Roofe of Scottish league leaders Glasgow Rangers will also feature after his first goal for Jamaica in the defeat of Honduras.

Comparatively, the strength of the squad certainly makes it seem strange that El Salvador is favored. And that, therefore, makes the +200 price for a Jamaican win the best offer here.

El Salvador vs Jamaica Statistics

At this stage, the first three finishers in this group automatically qualify for the finals.

Fourth place, meanwhile, will earn a place in an inter-confederation play-off.

Three Straight Defeats for El Salvador

Despite its position as the favorite for this game. El Salvador has lost its last three games.

Furthermore, it has scored only twice in this group. Nevertheless, it is stubborn and has recorded three clean sheets while conceding only four times.

Last time out it lost 1-0 in a friendly at home against Bolivia last weekend.

Previously, it lost a Word Cup qualifier 2-1 at home against Costa Rica. It then subsequently lost 2-0 on a road trip away against group leaders Mexico.

Contrarily, Jamaica won its last game – claiming its first World Cup win in this group with a 2-0 success away against bottom-placed Honduras.

It had previously earned an encouraging 0-0 draw at home against third-placed Canada.

Friday’s tie at the Estadio Cuscatlan in San Salvador kicks off at 9:00 pm ET.

El Salvador’s only win in the group came on Matchday 4 with a 1-0 success at home against Panama.

Defender Mario Jacobo of El Salvador was sent off for a straight red card offense against Mexico.

Markedly, the El Salvadorean team must sort out its discipline ahead of this collision with the Jamaicans after receiving red cards in each of its last two qualifiers.

Defender Mario Jacobo was sent off for a straight red card offense in the defeat by Mexico.

Moreover, midfielder Narciso Orellana was ordered off – also with a straight red card – in the defeat by Costa Rica.

Jacobo is consequently suspended from this match. However, Orellana will return after his one-match ban.

Return to 4-3-3 Formation?

The coach, Hugo Perez, is considering a return to the 4-3-3 formation which secured the win against Panama.

Such a line-up would feature an attacking three-some of Jairo Henriquez, Joaquin Rivas and Denis Pineda.

But El Salvador has managed only one win in its last 11 meetings with Jamaica.

It is, however, unbeaten in the last three collisions with a 0-0 draw taking place the last time the sides met in the Gold Cup in June 2019.

There had previously been that sole El Salvadorean victory by 2-0 at home in the CONCACAF Nations League in March 2019.

Jamaica faces tough fixtures against the USA and Mexico and will be looking to get points in the bag.

Theodore Whitmore, the Jamaican coach will hope that his men can certainly retain their goals-scoring touch after finally discovering it against Honduras last time out.

Markedly, it had failed to score in five of its previous seven outings.

A win this time around will certainly be important because Jamaica subsequently faces tough fixtures against the USA and Mexico and will be looking to get points in the bag ahead of those games.

And indeed, in conclusion, Jamaica is in a buoyant mood after its two most recent World Cup results and also has a more powerful squad – with an away win here the likely outcome.

Pick: Jamaica +200
