2023 Women’s World Cup: Colombia vs. Jamaica odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Colombia vs. Jamaica odds and lines, with Women’s World Cup soccer expert picks, predictions and best bets.

In the Round of 16, Colombia battles Jamaica Tuesday. Kickoff from Melbourne Rectangular Stadium is set for 4 a.m. ET (FS1). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Colombia vs. Jamaica odds, and make our best Women’s World Cup bets, picks and predictions.

Colombia was among the surprise nations in the group stage. It won Group H with 2 wins and 1 loss, scoring 4 goals and conceding 2 while coming out of a difficult group that featured Germany and South Korea, neither of whom advanced. The 25th-ranked team in the FIFA Women’s rankings beat No. 2-ranked Germany 2-1 to help punch its ticket to the Round of 16.

Jamaica ranks 43rd in the world and came in 2nd place in Group F, trailing just France. Jamaica finished with 1 goal for and 0 goals against, drawing 2 matches 0-0 and beating Panama 1-0 via a 56th-minute goal from D Allyson Swaby. It was one of 3 nations (Switzerland and Japan) to not allow a single goal in group play, although it managed just 6 shots on goal through the 3 matches.

Colombia vs. Jamaica picks and predictions

Prediction

Colombia 1, Jamaica 0

Moneyline (ML)

BET COLOMBIA (+110).

Colombia lost 1-0 to Morocco Thursday, but it beat top-20 nations South Korea and Germany in the group stage. Its match with Morocco didn’t matter for it to advance to the knockout stage. Colombia had 9 or more shots against both Germany and South Korea and should be able to break through the Jamaican defense.

Jamaica held France and Brazil scoreless, but it did give up 13 shots on frame in those games combined. Jamaica’s inability to really provide much offense is also concerning. In the 2 matches with star F Khadija Shaw, Jamaica didn’t score once. It likely won’t on Tuesday either.

Take COLOMBIA (+110).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 1.5 (+130).

There’s absolutely no reason to think goals will be scored in this match. Jamaica held two lethal attacks to 0 goals in the Group stage. Brazil had 32 shots on Panama in the group stage yet Jamaica held it scoreless. However, Jamaica’s offense didn’t produce either, scoring just 1 goal on a weak Panama side.

Colombia scored twice in 2 matches but had just 4 goals throughout the 3 matches as it was held off the board last time out. Its defense should hold Jamaica scoreless, and its attack wasn’t consistent enough to back here.

For this value, back UNDER 1.5 (+130).

2023 Women’s World Cup: Jamaica vs. Brazil odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Jamaica vs. Brazil odds and lines, with Women’s World Cup soccer expert picks, predictions and best bets.

Jamaica (1-1-0 / W-D-L) takes on Brazil (1-0-1) Wednesday from Melbourne Rectangular Stadium. Kickoff in each nation’s last group stage match is set for 6 a.m. ET. Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Jamaica vs. Brazil odds, and make our best Women’s World Cup bets, picks and predictions.

Jamaica opened its World Cup play with a 0-0 draw against France on July 23. It had just 6 shots, 2 of which were on frame, while France had 14 and 5, respectively. F Khadija Shaw received a red and missed Jamaica’s 1-0 win over Panama Saturday, but should be back and rested now. Jamaica had 20 shots and 4 on target, despite having just 48% possession. It ranks 43rd in the FIFA Women’s Ranking.

Brazil comes in virtually needing a win to advance to the knockout round. France will be a heavy favorite against Panama. A French win and Jamaican draw would send Brazil home. Brazil sits 8th in the world ranking. It beat Panama 4-0 to open its group matches and had 32 shots, 10 of which were on frame. Against France — a 2-1 loss — it had just 2 shots on target, which was 5 fewer than France’s 7.

Moneyline: Jamaica +1200 (bet $100 to win $1,200) | Brazil -450 (bet $450 to win $100) | Draw +500
Over/Under: 2.5 (O: -160 | U: +115)

Jamaica vs. Brazil picks and predictions

Prediction

Brazil 2, Jamaica 0

Moneyline (ML)

PASS.

Brazil will have its back against the wall but was dominant against Panama, a team that is comparable to Jamaica in technical ability. Brazil is expected to hold Jamaica scoreless as BOTH TEAMS NOT TO SCORE is listed at (-190).

Brazil scored on France and peppered 32 shots at Panama. It should be able to get through a Jamaica defense that has been surprisingly resilient throughout its 1st 2 games. Jamaica did enough to beat Panama, but it had as many shots on goal and less possession.

Jamaica has 4 points through 2 matches, but it hasn’t been as impressive as Brazil. Brazil has no value at (-450), nor does betting against the top-10 nation.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (+115).

Jamaica has yet to allow a goal in the World Cup. With France and Panama having combined for just 9 shots on target, Jamaica’s backline has performed well, and while I expect it to lose, that line should be able to hold up well.

Brazil has scored 1 or fewer goals in 5 of 8 games in 2023. In games that were in the SheBelieves Cup, UEFA competitions for the World Cup, it has topped 1 goal in just 1 of 6 matches. Brazil has a strong, experienced attack and should win, but it likely won’t dominate Jamaica’s defense.

That said, take UNDER 2.5 (+115).

2023 Women’s World Cup: Panama vs. Jamaica odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Panama vs. Jamaica odds and lines, with Women’s World Cup soccer expert picks, predictions and best bets.

Panama (0 wins, 0 draws, 1 loss) battles Jamaica (0-1-0) in the Group F match Saturday. Kickoff from Perth Rectangular Stadium in Australia is set for 8:30 a.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Panama vs. Jamaica odds, and make our best Women’s World Cup bets, picks and predictions.

Panama was on the wrong end of an ugly 4-0 defeat against Brazil Monday. It allowed 32 shots, 10 of which were on target. Panama ended with 6 shots and 2 on target and just 27% of the possession. Panama, the No. 52 nation in FIFA Women’s World Rankings, is 6-5-1 this calendar year. It lost 7-0 to Spain June 29 and 5-0 to Japan July 14 in its 2 matches prior to the World Cup.

Jamaica, despite a 92nd-minute red card to F Khadija Shaw, drew 5th-ranked France 0-0. It ended with 6 shots and 2 on target, allowing 14 and 5, respectively. It had just 27% of the possession. Jamaica, No. 43 in the FIFA rankings, is 2-2-5 this year. It beat Morocco 1-0 after a 7-3 loss to Mexico leading up to the World Cup.

Moneyline: Panama +425 (bet $100 to win $425) | Jamaica -140 (bet $140 to win $100) | Draw +240
Over/Under: 1.5 (O: -200 | U: +140)

Panama vs. Jamaica picks and predictions

Prediction

Panama 1, Jamaica 1

Moneyline (ML)

SPRINKLE DRAW (+240).

Panama and Jamaica might have had far different results in its opening matches, but both rank outside the top 40 in the FIFA rankings and both allowed double-digit shots in their Cup openers.

Jamaica will be without its top forward in this match as Shaw will serve her red-card suspension. Shaw, the team’s captain, was Jamaica’s most electric offensive player vs. France. Jamaica only had 2 shots on target vs. France, and playing without its best offensive player will be even more troublesome.

Panama has won 6 games in 2023 and has the ability to keep up with Jamaica. Expect it to have a better showing than it did against Brazil, a nation that should be in contention to win the World Cup.

Over/Under (O/U)

PASS. Instead, BET BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE (+130).

Taking the Over on the total just doesn’t make sense as Over 1.5 (-200) is too expensive to play. However, both teams should be able to play a more aggressive style as it won’t be taking on a top-10 opponent.

Jamaica scored in its 5 games prior to taking on France, scoring 2 or more goals in 2 of those. Panama has scored in 7 of 12 games in 2023 and has really only been held scoreless against top-tier sides like Spain, Japan and Brazil.

While the Over isn’t a smart play at -200, both attacks should come to life. Back BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE (+130).

2023 Women’s World Cup: France vs. Jamaica odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s France vs. Jamaica odds and lines, with Women’s World Cup soccer expert picks, predictions and best bets.

In the Group F opener for both nations, France and Jamaica meet Sunday at Sydney Football Stadium in the 2023 Women’s World Cup. Kickoff is scheduled for 6 a.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the France vs. Jamaica odds, and make our best Women’s World Cup bets, picks and predictions.

France is looking to build upon its 2019 performance at home, which saw it bow out against the USWNT in the quarterfinals. The heavily favored Les Bleus are led by Wendie Renard, while Valerie Gauvin is also a player to watch.

Jamaica was unable to get out of the group stages in the 2019 World Cup. In a World Cup tune-up on Feb. 22, the Jamaicans were dropped 3-0 by Australia. If there is a bright spot for Jamaica, it’s Havana Solaun, who players for the Houston Dash of the NWSL.

Over/Under: 4.5 (O: +130 | U: -185)

France vs. Jamaica picks and predictions

Prediction

France 3, Jamaica 0

Moneyline (ML)

There is no way you can play France (-2000), which would cost you 20 times your potential return. In addition, playing No (-275): Both teams to score? is also too expensive.

This is going to be a rout, and the best bet is to play the MULTIPLE CORRECT SCORE 1:0, 2:0 OR 3:0 (+200) for a chance to double up.

Over/Under (O/U)

Outside of the Multiple Correct Score prop, referenced above, the other best bet is UNDER 4.5 GOALS (-185). If you’re a little more adventurous, playing UNDER 3.5 GOALS (+120) on the alternate line is worth a look at plus-money.

CONCACAF Gold Cup: Jamaica vs. Mexico odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Jamaica vs. Mexico odds and lines, with expert soccer picks, predictions and best bets.

[anyclip pubname=”2129″ widgetname=”0016M00002U0B1kQAF_M8190″]

In the semifinal of the CONCACAF Gold Cup, Jamaica battles Mexico. Kickoff from Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas is set for 10 p.m. ET (FS1). Below, we preview BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Jamaica vs. Mexico odds, and make our best soccer bets, picks and predictions.

Jamaica finished 2nd in Group A behind the USMNT, which it drew 1-1 on July 2. It then took down Trinidad and Tobago 4-1 and Saint Kitts and Nevis 5-0, advancing to the quarterfinals. Jamaica beat Guatemala 1-0 on Sunday evening 1-0 in what basically was a road game. The key name to keep an eye on is GK Andre Blake, who came up huge against Guatemala. Blake ended with 6 saves.

Mexico has looked strong since its 3-0 loss to the USMNT in the Nations League semifinal. It beat Panama 1-0 in the 3rd-place match and beat Honduras 4-0 and Haiti 3-1 in the group stage before losing to Qatar 1-0. It beat Costa Rica 2-0 in the quarterfinal. Mexico dominated every fashion of that match, having 5 more shots and 7 more shots on goal.

The winner plays the USMNT-Panama winner in the championship game.

Jamaica vs. Mexico picks and predictions

Prediction

Mexico 2, Jamaica 1

Moneyline (ML)

PASS.

When Mexico lost to Qatar, despite having 24 more shots, it still had Group B locked up. It has breezed by Costa Rica, Haiti and Honduras. While Jamaica has one of the best rosters in CONCACAF at full strength, Mexico has shown little weakness over the past few weeks, beating another semifinalist (Panama) in the last month as well.

Jamaica isn’t quite as proven, beating Guatemala just 1-0. While it did draw the US, it had half as many shots and was playing against the 2nd string for the USMNT unlike Mexico did in the Nations League.

These odds are justified, but I would still pass on Mexico to win outright at (-165).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 2.5 (+105).

Jamaica did give up 6 shots on target against Guatemala, a nation that sits 116th in FIFA Men’s World Rankings. The chances were there, and Mexico should be able to get at least 1 if not a few on Blake. Jamaica has scored in every Gold Cup game as well and scored 10 goals in the group stage, so it has some attacking prowess as well.

Mexico tallied 7 goals in the group stage and scored 2 on Costa Rica. The finishing is much better than most other sides Jamaica has faced. Mexico had 74 shots in 3 group stage matches. It will be able to put pressure on Jamaica.

Mexico’s attack coupled with Jamaica’s recent quality finishing should give hope this game can produce goals. Take the OVER 2.5 (+105).

USMNT vs. Jamaica odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s USMNT vs. Jamaica odds and lines, with expert soccer picks, predictions and best bets.

The USMNT welcomes Jamaica to Solider Field in Chicago for the first match in the CONCACAF Gold Cup. Kickoff is set for 9:30 p.m. ET. Below, we preview BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the USMNT vs. Jamaica odds, and make our best soccer bets, picks and predictions.

This will be the first match in Group A, a group also featuring Saint Kitts and Nevis along with Trinidad and Tobago.

The USMNT is coming off 2 wins in the CONCACAF Nations League, beating Mexico 3-0 and then Canada 2-0 to win the event. Only 3 members from the Nations League, which was the country’s top group of players, will remain on the roster for this game. FC Dallas F Jesus Ferreira and Sounders F Jordan Morris along with Arsenal GK Matt Turner will headline the group.

Jamaica, on the other hand, lost to Jordan 2-1 June 19. It also lost to Qatar 2-1 June 15. Jamaica hasn’t won since it defeated Suriname 3-1 June 7, 2022. Union GK Andre Blake is a name to keep an eye on as he’s been among the best keepers in the MLS. Jamaica did draw Mexico 2-2 in the final matchday of the CONCACAF Nations League Group Stage. It ranks 63rd in the Men’s FIFA World Rankings.

USMNT vs. Jamaica picks and predictions

Prediction

USMNT 2, Jamaica 0

Moneyline (ML)

LEAN USMNT (-165).

The USMNT, simply put, is better than Jamaica and has far more talent, despite not having their best XI on the pitch. It will have seasoned players like Morris and Turner to go hand-in-hand with many that have single-digit caps.

For Jamaica, it has lost 3 of 5 games this season and have lost 2 straight games. Jamaica won’t have the firepower to keep pace with the USMNT. The USMNT has gone 4 of the last 5 games between the two sides.

Take USMNT (-165) despite the juice.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (-130).

In the last 2 meetings between these teams, the USMNT drew Jamaica 1-1 and beat them 2-0.

Both times, the Under would’ve been the better play. Jamaica doesn’t have a ton of offensive firepower, but it does have Blake and a strong backline. Jamaica has gone 3-3 O/U in its last 6 matches.

The USMNT has gone Under in 3 of its last 4 matches and in 4 of its 7 matches in 2023. With that in mind, take the UNDER 2.5 (-130).

CONCACAF Gold Cup: USA vs. Jamaica odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Sunday’s USA vs. Jamaica odds and lines, with CONCACAF Gold Cup picks and predictions.

The CONCACAF Gold Cup continues Sunday with a quarterfinals matchup between USA and Jamaica with a 9:30 p.m. ET kickoff at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Below, we preview the USA vs. Jamaica odds and lines, and make our best CONCACAF Gold Cup bets, picks and predictions.

Team USA went a perfect 3-for-3 in group play, topping Haiti 1-0, then spanking Martinique 6-1 before easing by Canada 1-0 in the decisive match last Sunday.

Jamaica opened with a solid 2-0 victory over Suriname but was a tad bit shaky in a narrow 2-1 win over Guadeloupe. It ended up on the short end of a 1-0 loss to Costa Rica to finish second in the group.

Prediction

USA 2, Jamaica 0

Money line (ML)

USA (-225) is the play even though it’s a little more expensive than I generally care to play on a money line wager. However, the Reggae Boyz are up against it playing in Arlington against a pro-USA crowd which will give the Americans all the energy they need, and then some.

This will be a decisive effort for the home side, and I also like USA TO WIN TO NIL (+120).

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 2.5 (-115) is a good play, as I expect Team USA to post the clean sheet. Jamaica didn’t impress me one bit during group play. In fact, I feel as though it has gotten sloppier as the tournament has gone on.

If there is a concern here, it is a late third goal in regular or stoppage time with Jamaica pinching up out of desperation.
