Panama vs Jamaica: CONCACAF Gold Cup Prediction (25.06.2025)

On Wednesday, June 25 at 06:00 WIB, the national teams of Panama and Jamaica will face off at Q2 Stadium in Austin, Texas in the final match of Group C of the 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup. Panama won their previous two matches against Guadeloupe (5–2) and Guatemala (1–0), securing their place in the knockout stage. Jamaica, meanwhile, lost 0–1 to Guatemala but defeated Guadeloupe 2–1. The Jamaicans now need a win to advance to the next round.

This Panama vs Jamaica prediction takes into account the stronger motivation on one side. However, bookmakers still slightly favor Panama. A win for “La Marea Roja” (The Red Tide) comes with odds of 2.33, a draw at 3.38, and a win for the “Reggae Boyz” at 3.05. Over 2.5 total goals is priced at 2.06, indicating that analysts do not expect a particularly high-scoring match. Odds for both teams to score are set at 1.82.

Panama

Thomas Christiansen’s team got off to a strong start in this tournament. Their convincing win over Guadeloupe gave fans hope for continued success. In the match against Guatemala, Panama only scored once but completely dominated the game. Final stats included 68% possession to 32%, 21:3 in total shots, 8:1 shots on target, and 7:2 corner kicks.

The right flank has been particularly impressive, with Michael Murillo from Olympique Marseille and Puma from Mexican side Juárez. Up front, Thomas Rodríguez (Monagas) or Ismael Díaz (Universidad Católica) could lead the attack. The Spanish coach rarely fields two forwards at once.

Jamaica

Steve McClaren’s squad is more modest in terms of talent. The right wing attack was decent against Guadeloupe, featuring Jonathan Russell from Barnsley and Leon Bailey from Aston Villa — the latter being the team’s biggest star. Another key factor is whether 34-year-old goalkeeper Andre Blake (Philadelphia Union) can perform well. Blake has a tendency to make unforced errors, especially when facing stronger teams.

Stats and Head-to-Head Record

Since 2021, the teams have faced off three times. Panama won twice, but in March last year, Jamaica claimed a 1–0 win in the CONCACAF Nations League.

Prediction

Jamaica will be highly motivated to win. However, Panama will also want to avoid a loss in order to face a weaker opponent in the next round. With both sides fighting for points, we predict over 2 total goals at odds of 1.55.
