Venezuela aims to maintain their perfect record in the 2024 Copa America as they face Jamaica in their final group game. La Vinotinto has showcased their strength with consecutive victories over Ecuador and Mexico, securing the top spot in the standings. However, a home win is not guaranteed as head coach Fernando Batista is likely to rotate the squad. Players like Casseres, Machis, Cadiz, Angel, and Makoun are pushing for a start, while key forward Salomon Rondon is expected to begin on the bench.
On the other hand, the Reggae Boyz struggled defensively in a 3-1 defeat to Ecuador. Despite being eliminated from quarter-final contention, Jamaica will be eager to salvage something from Monday’s match against Venezuela, who have already secured their place and have less at stake. Al Ettifaq winger Demarai Gray is anticipated to return to Jamaica’s starting XI after an impressive performance against La Tri.
Prediction: 1-1 draw.
