S.P.Read Esq: USA v Jamaica
Our daily columnist and pundit S.P. Read Esq. looks ahead to tonight’s CONCACAF Gold Cup 2015 semi-final between USA v JAMAICA and finds the best opportunities available on Star Spreads, the home of sports spread betting.
Live football action tonight on BT SPORT with the first semi-final of the CONCACAF Gold Cup 2015 between USA and Jamaica.
USA turned on the afterburners with a 6-0 win over Cuba on Sunday in the quarter finals and face a Jamaican side who have kept a clean sheet in their last three matches of which they have won all of them 1-0.
USA are the defending champions and have a good head to head record over Jamaica (see stats below) but there is seldom much to choose between the two sides.
Jamaican coach Winfried Schaefer said of his side who have reached the semi-finals for the first time in 17 years: “It feels like David against Goliath. That’s fine with us. We will try to hit the giant where it hurts the most.”
USA boss Jurgen Klinsmann said: “Beating Jamaica and going on to win the trophy was important as it would ensure qualification for the 2017 Confederations Cup. Every game in this tournament is a battle and we definitely expect a battle against Jamaica.”

USA will find Jamaica much harder than Cuba but should still have the class to book their place in another CONCACAF final and I can see there being some goals. Happy to sell the time of the third match goal with limited downside at 78 with Star Spreads.
