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.
Only goal difference separates the two sides in the table. They have each garnered five points from six matches but Jamaica have a slightly better goal difference to sit one spot ahead of El Salvador in sixth place.
