Jamaica vs Curacao Prediction & Betting Tips (19 November)

In its history, Jamaica has only taken part in one World Cup in 1998. The selection has a great opportunity to end its drought. Indeed, 2nd in group B with one point behind their opponent of the day, Demarai Gray's teammates will validate their ticket for the 2026 edition in the event of victory tonight. In September and October, they pocketed 3 victories over Bermuda twice and Trinidad and Tobago, for 1 defeat 2-0 in Curaçao. Last Friday, Jamaica were relegated to 2nd place following their 1-1 draw at Trinidad and Tobago. Semi-finalist of the 2023 Gold Cup, Jamaica then lost in the group stage during the 2025 edition. Never qualified for any World Cup, Curaçao can make history this night.

Indeed, the selection occupies the head of group B and must therefore avoid defeat to validate its ticket. To their advantage, Dick Advocaat's men did not taste defeat in this 3rd round, 3 wins and 2 draws. In the previous two meetings, they were held to a draw by Trinidad and Tobago 0-0 and 1-1 and otherwise beat, at home, Bermuda 3-2 and Jamaica 2-0. Last Friday, Curaçao defeated Bermuda 0-7. During the 2025 Gold Cup, Curaçao did not make it out of the group stage. 

For Trinidad and Tobago, we can point out the absences of offensive executives Bailey (Roma, 7 goals in 39 sel) and Antonio (West Ham 2, 5 goals in 24 sel), defender Bell (Charlton, 29 sel) as well as midfielders Palmer (Hull City, 22 sel) and Lambert (Louisville, 28 sel). In addition, the important defender King (St Mirren, 37 sel) was injured against Trinidad and Tobago, while another senior defender, Damion Lowe (4 goals in 77 sel, Houston) is doubtful. The selection is led by a few other MLS residents, like goalkeeper Blake (Philadelphia, 91 sel). We also find several elements that play in England. We can cite the defenders Pinnock (Brentford, 25 sel) and Leigh (Oxford United, 30 sel), the midfielders Hayden (QPR, 11 sel), Russell (Barnsley, 5 goals in 16 sel) and De Cordova-Reid (Leicester, 7 goals in 42 sel) and the attackers Gray (Birmingham, 7 goals in 28 sel) and Burrell (QPR, 1 goal in 5 sel), who were all starters last Friday.

Initially present for this gathering, defender Bazoer (Konyaspor, 2 sel) finally had to leave the Curaçao group. We also note the absences of attackers Brandley Kuwas (FC Volendam, 32 sel), Rangelo Janga (Eindhoven, 42 sel, 21 goals), Zimmerman (13 caps) and Severina (Casa Pia, 5 sel). Scorer against Bermuda, winger Hansen (Middlesbrough, 1 goal in 2 seasons) could again start alongside Kastaneer (9 goals in 25 seasons) and Gorré (Maccabi Haifa, 6 goals in 35 seasons). The important midfielders Juninho Bacuna (Gaziantep, 13 goals in 45 sels) and Leandro Bacuna (Bandirmaspor, 16 goals in 67 sels) are available as is the solid defender Obispo (PSV, 3 sels).
