Jamaica -1 is the best opportunity for us to make money today. A team full of European talent, hungry for continental recognition and with more than enough attacking ability to thrash a Guadeloupe that, although organized, is clearly a few notches below in individual quality and international experience. Jamaica lost the first game, yes — but that setback only serves to fuel a ruthless performance now.
Jamaica enters this game with a clear mission of redemption. After the 2-1 defeat to Guatemala, the “Reggae Boyz” know there is no room for more mistakes. And when a team with such quality desperately needs to win, that is usually when the strong response comes. With Michail Antonio, Leon Bailey and Demarai Gray up front, the Jamaicans have an attacking front that would be respected in any international competition. The physical presence, speed and power of these players will be too much for the Guadeloupe defense to handle for 90 minutes.
Furthermore, players such as Ethan Pinnock (Brentford) and Amari'i Bell (Luton Town) ensure stability in defense. The midfield is intense, combative and more experienced than the opponent. Even coach Steve McLaren himself is English, has experience and knows the players he leads well.
On the other side, we have an organized but limited Guadeloupe. The team coached by Jocelyn Angloma has some interesting players, such as Dimitri Ramothe or Steven Solvet, but none of them compete at the highest European level — and that, in a tournament with this level of intensity, weighs heavily. In the first game, they were easily beaten by Panama and showed many defensive weaknesses and that they will always try to play the game for the sake of it. Against Jamaica, who need to score, I hope they will continue to have space in transitions, more possession from the Reggae Boyz and inevitably... more goals conceded.
This bet has everything we are looking for: extremely high motivation from one of the group favorites, much higher quality and a clear need to win. The -1 line on the Asian handicap protects us in the event of a narrow win, and offers huge value in a win by two or more goals — something that is entirely possible, if not likely, given the difference in level that exists here.
牙买加-1号是我们今天赚钱的最好机会。这是一支充满欧洲天才的球队,渴望得到欧洲大陆的认可,拥有足够的进攻能力来击败瓜德罗普岛,尽管有组织,但在个人素质和国际经验上显然比瓜德罗普岛低几个档次。是的,牙买加输掉了第一场比赛,但这场挫折只会助长他们无情的表现。
牙买加带着明确的救赎使命进入这场比赛。在2比1不敌危地马拉之后,“雷鬼男孩”知道不能再犯错误了。而当一支拥有如此实力的球队迫切需要获胜时,通常就会出现强烈的反应。凭借安东尼奥、贝利和格雷的锋线,牙买加人的锋线在任何国际比赛中都能得到尊重。这些球员的身体素质、速度和力量将使瓜德罗普岛的防守难以应付90分钟。
此外,像Ethan Pinnock(布伦特福德)和Amari'i Bell(卢顿镇)这样的球员确保了防守的稳定性。中场是激烈的,好斗的,比对手更有经验。甚至连教练史蒂夫·麦克拉伦自己也是英国人,他有经验,也很了解他所带领的球员。
另一方面,我们有一个有组织但有限的瓜德罗普岛。这支由乔斯林·安格洛玛执教的球队有一些有趣的球员,比如迪米特里·拉莫斯和史蒂文·索尔维特,但他们都没有参加过欧洲最高水平的比赛——在这种强度的比赛中,这一点很重要。在第一场比赛中,他们很容易被巴拿马击败,并显示出许多防守弱点,他们将永远努力为比赛而比赛。对阵需要得分的牙买加,我希望他们能继续在转换中获得空间,从雷鬼男孩那里获得更多控球权,并且不可避免地……丢了更多的球。
这个赌注有我们正在寻找的一切:来自小组热门之一的极高动机,更高的质量和明确的获胜需求。亚洲障碍的-1线在险胜的情况下保护我们,并且在两球或两球以上的胜利中提供了巨大的价值——考虑到这里存在的水平差异,这是完全有可能的,如果不太可能的话。
