Reigning champions USA will welcome Trinidad and Tobago to the Bank of America Stadium in their final group-stage match of the CONCACAF Gold Cup on Sunday.
This is a must-win match for Trinidad and Tobago, who have three points to their name. Jamaica are second in the Group A table with four points, the same as the USA, so three of the four teams from the group are in contention to make it to the knockout stage.
If the game ends in a draw, the hosts will progress to the next round, irrespective of the outcome of the match between Jamaica and Saint Kitts and Nevis.
The USA recorded a 6-0 win over Saint Kitts and Nevis in their previous outing on Wednesday, with Jesus Ferreira bagging a hat-trick. Trinidad were hammered 4-1 by Jamaica on Wednesday.
