The United States is more than motivated with two consecutive victories against important teams such as Costa Rica and Mexico, although away from home they have struggled to win and in their last visit they lost by the slimmest of margins in Panama.

Jamaica is in sixth place in the octagonal with six points, noting that it dropped the victory in the last match after being tied 1-1 in extra time against El Salvador at the Cuscatlán stadium.

Jamaica needs a win to have any illusions of qualifying against the United States, which wants to remain at the top of the playoffs. We begin with the coverage of the game.

He is coming off an injury and has not had the minutes he would like neither with Chelsea nor with the national team, however, Christian Pulisic is the most talented player that the Stars and Stripes have and the minutes he is on the field we will not have to take our eyes off him because of what he can do; against Mexico he came on as a substitute and scored the second to seal the victory.

One of the great figures of the Caribbean team is goalkeeper Andre Blake, who plays in the MLS and knows some of their rivals that could be useful to get a good result. His saves will be key throughout the 90 minutes.

1 Zack Steffen, 3 Walker Zimmerman, 12 Miles Robinson, 5 Antonee Robinson, 2 DeAndre Yedlin, 4 Tyler Adams, 8 Weston McKennie, 6 Yunus Musah, 9 Ricardo Pepi, 11 Brenden Aaronson, 20 Timothy Weah.

Before this matchday, the United States leads the standings with 14 points, ahead of Mexico on goal difference, while Jamaica is in sixth place with six points, five points out of the requalification zone.

After playing well and giving a blow of authority against Mexico, the United States needs to avoid overconfidence and reflect its superiority on the field in order to remain at the top of the octogonal and to be on the road to qualification for the Qatar 2022 World Cup.

Despite going three games unbeaten when it seemed that they were more than eliminated, Jamaica needs to win at home and what better way to do it than against the leaders, the United States. However, they will have to prioritize the defensive aspect and bet on the counterattack to try to get a good result.

The Jamaica vs USA match will be played at the National Stadium Independence Park, in Kingston, Jamaica. The kick-off is scheduled at 5:00 pm ET.
