Can we expect a miracle from Jamaica? – free tip for the Copa
Jamaica are aiming for their first point and first goal in Copa history, but they can dream bigger.
The 2024 Copa América kicked off at dawn on Friday with a victory for Argentina, who beat the only newcomers, Canada, in a confident victory. From here, there’s no stopping the matches, and we’ve got more previews and highlights.
As well as some interesting stats, there’s an interesting fact about the Copas that we can now try to take advantage of as bettors.
Jamaica will be making their third appearance at the tournament after 2015 and 2016, but so far they have failed to score or even score a goal. The first time, they were nulled out by Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay, while Mexico, Venezuela and Uruguay beat the Central Americans handily the second time. At this tournament, the Reggae Boyz will be the finalists of the Nations League, where they finished third, beating Panama.
History is partly repeating itself, as Jamaica are now in Group B with Mexico and Venezuela, while Uruguay have been replaced by Ecuador. If the zero goals trend continues, meaning that Antonio and his team don’t score in any of their games this time, we could win 9 times our money back on 22bet with the following parlay.
By the way, if you look at Jamaica’s frame, you don’t have to look down on them at all, in fact! Strangely enough, an Icelandic coach, Heimir Hallgrímsson, has been in charge of the team for years and has managed to assemble a very good squad for the tournament. Several of them have Premier League experience, and the names of Demarai Gray, Leon Bailey, Shamar Nicholson, Bobby Decordova-Reid and Michael Hector will ring a bell alongside Antonio
So it would be a mistake to write Jamaica off and instead of a betel, we prefer to think in terms of bravado. Neither Ecuador (especially on a neutral pitch) nor Venezuela are unbeatable teams, and they have the right frame and the right form, so we’re going to go with the bravura tip for the Reggae Boyz.
