Panama Women and Jamaica Women will face off at the HBF Park to continue their 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup campaign on Saturday afternoon. The Panamana Women are making their World Cup debut and began their campaign with a demoralising 4-0 defeat against Brazil last week. Ary Borges starred with a hat-trick and assist in the rout, while Bia Zaneratto also found the back of the net in the second half. Jamaica, meanwhile, put up a spirited performance to hold France to a draw in their opening game. Despite finishing the game with 10 players following Khadija Shaw's late red card, Jamaica held firm to frustrate France and ensure that the contest finished goalless. The stalemate saw the Reggae Girlz climb to joint-second in Group F on one point, while Panama are bottom of the standings. I am expecting Jamaica to win this encounter for the following reasons:

Firstly. Panama's debut at the Women's World Cup proved to be a chastening experience as they were comfortably swept aside by Brazil. Ignacio Quintana's side have now lost their last three matches by a combined 16-0 scoreline, highlighting the improvement that is needed at both ends of the pitch if they are to compete with Jamaica and France in their next games. Things have mostly not gone to plan for the debuting teams at this World Cup, and they know that they will be eliminated with a game to play if they lose to the Jamaicans on Matchday Two.

Secondly. Jamaica had earlier written their name into the record books by becoming the first Caribbean nation to qualify for consecutive World Cups. They followed this up by registering their first points at the Mundial in an unexpected result against the almighty France. They knew that they would have their work cut out against a French side that are ranked 38 places above them in the FIFA Rankings. With Jamaica dreaming of reaching the World Cup knockout rounds for the first time, they know that they have a chance to move into the top two of the group rankings on Saturday.

Without the service of top scorer, Shaw, Jamaica will have to find a way to score goals. They do however still have a lot of experience and quality in their team to be able to beat Panama, and take the whole points. I am expecting a win from Jamaica on Saturday.

巴拿马女足和牙买加女足将于周六下午在HBF公园进行对决，继续她们的2023年女足世界杯之旅。巴拿马女足是世界杯首秀，上周0 - 4负于巴西队，令人沮丧。博尔赫斯上演帽子戏法并助攻全场大胜，而比亚·扎内拉托也在下半场破门。与此同时，牙买加在首场比赛中表现出色，将法国队逼平。尽管在Khadija Shaw最后时刻吃到红牌后，牙买加以10名球员结束了比赛，但牙买加坚持不懈地挫败了法国，确保比赛以0比0结束。在这场平局中，雷鬼女孩队以1分排名F组并列第二，巴拿马队排名垫底。我希望牙买加能赢得这场比赛，原因如下:

首先。巴拿马在女足世界杯上的首秀被证明是一次教训，她们被巴西轻松击败。伊格纳西奥·金塔纳(Ignacio Quintana)的球队在最近三场比赛中以16比0的总比分输掉了比赛，这突显出如果他们要在接下来的比赛中与牙买加和法国竞争，球场两端都需要有所提高。对于首次参加本届世界杯的球队来说，事情大多没有按计划进行，他们知道，如果他们在第二场比赛中输给牙买加队，他们将被淘汰出局。

其次。此前，牙买加成为首个连续获得世界杯参赛资格的加勒比国家，将自己的名字写进了世界纪录。随后，他们在对阵强大的法国队的比赛中出人意料地取得了他们在蒙迪尔球场的第一分。他们知道，面对在国际足联排名中比他们高38位的法国队，他们将会付出很大的努力。牙买加梦想着首次进入世界杯淘汰赛，他们知道自己有机会在周六进入小组前两名。

没有了头号射手肖的服务，牙买加将不得不寻找进球的方法。然而，他们仍然有很多经验和实力，他们的球队能够击败巴拿马，并获得全部积分。我期待着周六牙买加的胜利。
