We knew Panama was going to be a heavy underdog heading into the tournament. They had extreme longshot odds of +25000 to win the group. After one match, that opinion hasn’t changed as Panama got thrashed 4-0 against Brazil.
On the other hand, Jamaica showed resiliency in its opening match against a France team that is ranked No. 5 in the world. However, it’s worth noting that Jamaica’s best player, Khadija Shaw, will be suspended for this match against Panama after accumulating a red card in the opener.
Jamaica, who struggled to score against World Cup-bound teams in all 2023 matches, won’t find this promising. They’ve only managed to score one goal against the last four qualifying teams they played. Now that their key striker is unavailable, a low-scoring draw seems more likely.
