Jamaica vs Guatemala Preview

• Tournament: World Cup Qualifiers
• Date: 11th June, 2025
• Kick-off time: 11 PM GMT
• Venue: National Stadium Independence Park

Jamaica and Guatemala are looking to get an edge over one another in the rankings table as they are leading the standings of the World Cup Qualifiers. On June 11th, 2025, the Jamaica National Football Team and the Guatemala National Football Team square off against each other to get the lead above the other in the rankings.

Prior to meeting each other in the 2nd fixture of this break, Jamaica had a match against the British Virgin Islands while Guatemala locked horns with the Dominican Republic.

Opportunity was there in Group E for the Dominican Republic to catapult itself into the third round mix with a 6 June showdown against Guatemala. After the 1st fixture in the break, Guatemala will now lock horns with Steve McClaren's Reggae Boyz, who do not have any plans to share the spoils.

The Jamaica National Football Team has a bitter taste in their mouth after their recent defeat against Nigeria in a 5-4 penalty shootout, after an undecided 2-2 score. Apart from their fixture against the British Virgin Islands, in their last 5 matches, Jamaica only won twice and drew three times. Their wins came against Trinidad and Tobago and St. Vincent Grenadines.

On the other hand, Guatemala won twice, drew once, and lost twice in their last 5 games, keeping their tie against the Dominican Republic excluded.

In their first two games, Guatemala scored 9 goals without conceding any and clinched 6 points in total. On the other hand, Jamaica scored 4 goals, conceding 2 in their 2 matches, earning the same points. Only the goal difference is making the difference. But that will change on 11th June during the Jamaica vs Guatemala match.

Even though there were questions asked towards the head coach, McClaren, regarding the inclusion of Ravel Morrison, Steven stood by his decisions and gave the fans and reporters clarity on the priorities. Key players are making a return, such as Damion Lowe, Leon Bailey, Andre Blake, and Damarai Gray.

But the main focus is on Ravel. Since the midfielder was seen having limited minutes in club football, questions regarding him were thrown at the Jamaican head coach. Steven pointed out his creativity and sharpness, which make him an asset in this team and thus justify the inclusion. Moreover, Charlton forward Tyreece Campbell has also been called up to the Jamaican National Football Squad for the first time. He will join the likes of Kaheim Dixon in the national minute.

Guatemala National Football Team News

A month ago, Guatemala was all about mix squad selection, with Jose Pinto, Steven Robles, Erick Lemus, Jose Maria Calderon, and Marco Dominguez being the names making the headlines.

However, with the most important match against the Jamaican National Football Team in the corner, the fans are eager to see the return of their star Marvin Avilla.

There is no doubt that Los Chapines will head into the match with confidence and will leave no room for error as they have no intention of getting away from the match with anything else than 3 points.

Key Players To Watch In Jamaica vs Guatemala

Kaheim Dixon (Jamaica)

One of the big names in the Jamaican National Football Team is none other than the forward Dixon, who bagged an assist in the 2 matches in 2025. On the other hand, in World Cup Qualifiers, he has managed to see the net once in 2 matches. Even though the Jamaican National Football Team suffered a heavy blow against Nigeria in the final, there is no doubt that the forward has all the right tools at his disposal to change the course of the games that are coming Jamaica's way.

Oscar Santis (Guatemala)

In the two matches of the World Cup Qualifiers 2024-25, he managed to bag an assist. The midfielder is sure a threat with his ability to read the game and dictate smooth transitions from the center of the pitch. The 26-year-old is the golden key in the Guatemala National Football Team, possessing the right vision and tactical knowledge to change the course of the game in an instant. He will be paired up with the much-awaited Marvin Avilla, and the fans are expecting a big result from the combo.

Jamaica vs Guatemala Prediction

Even though the Jamaican National Football Team has the right mentality and the players who can secure a comfortable victory, their extra motivation might not be enough for this fixture, given Guatemala's fine form is there to get the win for themselves.

A strong chemistry in the midfield of Guatemala would undoubtedly allow them to dominate the center of the pitch right away. And with that established, it will be a matter of minutes till the opportunity presents itself for the Guatemala National Football Team and they capitalize on it. However, the Guatemala National Football Team might not be able to keep its clean sheet against Jamaica.

Predicted Score: Jamaica 1-3 Guatemala
