Panama and Jamaica face off in the CONCACAF World Cup Qualifier on Friday.

Both sides are battling to qualify for the next round. A win for Panama ensures that it moves on to the next round alongside Costa Rica. A defeat pulls Jamaica level with Panama and gives both sides hope heading into the final round of the qualifiers.

Jamaica and Panama faced off in the opening qualifier. Despite having home field advantage, Jamaica lost 2-0. The team would atone with a 1-0 win over Haiti but a draw with Costa Rica at home and a defeat in San Jose against that same side would push the team on the brink of elimination.

Jamaica has squandered home field advantage but Panama has managed to do a solid job with it. The team did lose at home against Costa Rica on the second match day but defeated Haiti there in a 1-0 decision.

Jamaica will be keen to win this game as Panama finishes off its schedule against Costa Rica while Jamaica gets an easier draw against Haiti.

Prediction

This should be a tough battle between the two sides but Panama should come out on top by virtue of its previous against Jamaica and its record at home.

Panama and Jamaica kick off at 9:30 p.m. EDT on Friday.
