El Salvador and Jamaica will trade tackles in a 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifier on Friday.
The home side come into the game on the back of a 1-0 defeat to Bolivia in an international friendly last week. Prior to that, they suffered a 2-0 defeat to Mexico in a FIFA World Cup qualifier last month.
Jamaica secured maximum points with a routine 2-0 away victory over Honduras. Kemar Roofe and Oniel Fisher scored in either half to power the Reggae Boyz to victory.
