The CONCACAF Gold Cup is back with a set of important quarterfinal fixtures this weekend as the USA take on Jamaica at the AT&T Stadium on Sunday. Both teams have been impressive in the tournament so far and have a point to prove in this match.
Jamaica managed convincing victories in their first two group games in the Gold Cup but slumped to a narrow 1-0 defeat against Costa Rica last week. The Caribbean outfit has impressive players in its ranks and will need to be at its best in this fixture.
The USA, on the other hand, are one of the favourites to win the CONCACAF Gold Cup and are yet to lose a game in the competition. The Stars and Stripes have tapped into the MLS for young talent this year and have effectively reaped the results so far with some memorable performances.
USA vs Jamaica Head-to-Head
The USA have a predictably excellent record against Jamaica and have won 17 matches out of a total of 28 games played between the two teams. Jamaica have managed only three victories against the USA and will need to step up this weekend.
The previous meeting between the two teams took place in March this year and ended in a 4-1 victory for the USA. Jamaica have improved in recent months and will want to put up more of a fight on Sunday.

USA vs Jamaica Prediction
The USA have named a young squad for the Gold Cup and their starlets have stepped up to the task admirably so far. The American heavyweights are in impressive form at the moment and are one of the favourites to win the competition.
Jamaica can also be lethal on their day and have proved their mettle in two of their three Gold Cup games so far. The USA are the better team on paper, however, and hold the upper hand in this fixture.
Prediction: USA 2-0 Jamaica
