Tip and bets
So far we didn't see the American team playing in full strength, Yanks won three matches in the group without any problems. There is obviously some difference in class between two teams, even when Americans are not playing with their strongest line-up. USA national team is in great form now, so Jamaicans won't have many chances for a success.
Our prediction - Asian handicap (-1) on USA
Jamaica is a clear underdog in this match, Americans have a better squad and they were looking better in the group stage. Jamaicans are unlikely to keep the clean sheet, but they should be able to score a goal as well - in the recent head-to-head matches they were scoring goals pretty regularly.
Our second bet is on both teams to score
