Ecuador-Jamaica is a match valid for the second day of the group stage of the Copa America and is played on Thursday at 00:00 (Italian time): statistics, probable formations, predictions.
It is already an inside or outside match that will be staged on the Italian night in Paradise, Nevada, valid for the second day of Group B of Copa America ’24. Ecuador and Jamaica, in fact, lost their first match and are both forced to win: another defeat would likely dash any hopes of moving on in the competition and entering the knockout stage.
It would indeed be a surprise to see Ecuador out already after the rounds. The men led by Spaniard Felix Sanchez in the opener surrendered 2-1 to the less-rated Venezuela but the match was inevitably compromised by the expulsion of experienced striker Valencia, who ended up in the shower after just 22 minutes. The Tricolor had even managed to take the lead despite being outnumbered, but in the second half the collapse was quite predictable. More predictable, however, was the knockout of the Jamaicans, narrowly beaten (1-0) by the – on paper – strongest selection in this grouping, Mexico. The Raggae Boyz, in any case, however, did not demerit at all, staying in the game until twenty minutes from the final whistle, when they were pierced by a goal from Mexico’s Arteaga. The selection coached by Icelandic head coach Heimir Hallgrimsson had to postpone the appointment with the historic first goal in this competition.
The prediction
This is the first official confrontation between these two national teams, which have only played each other in friendlies since 1995 (three Ecuador wins and one draw). The unexpected loss remedied with Venezuela obliges Sanchez’s selection not to miss this match to get back on track: Ecuador should succeed in a match of at least two goals total.
