Jamaica vs Mexico expert picks for Wednesday’s CONCACAF Gold Cup semifinal
Jamaica vs Mexico money line pick: Tie (+300, DraftKings)
Jamaica has been among the most impressive teams at the 2023 CONCACAF Gold Cup and can provide stiff opposition to tournament favorite Mexico in Wednesday’s semifinal at the Allegiant Stadium in Nevada. Mexico comfortably won 2-0 against Costa Rica in its quarterfinals to move one step away from reaching a third straight Gold Cup final. However, El Tri will not be taking anything for granted against the Reggae Boyz, who have impressed since opening the tournament with a 1-1 tie against the USA. They might easily have won that game – missing a penalty kick when leading 1-1 and allowing a late equalizer, and have followed it with 3 straight wins.
It should not be a huge surprise to see the Jamaicans faring so well because they have a strong roster featuring EPL attackers Demerai Gray, Michael Antonio and Leon Bailey. Jamaica won 1-0 against Guatemala in the quarterfinals but they will be fully aware that Mexico is likely to offer a much tougher challenge. The Mexicans approach every Gold Cup with high expectations, but this game looks more evenly-matched than the odds suggest and it may require extra-time or penalties to find a winner.
