St. Vincent and Jamaica will trade tackles in the first leg of their 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup qualifier on Friday (March 21st). The game will be played at Arnos Vale Stadium.
The hosts are coming into the game on the back of a 1-1 draw against Grenada in an international friendly last week. They went ahead through Oryan Velox's 41st-minute strike while Lucas Akins equalized from the spot in the 62nd minute.
Jamaica, meanwhile, also shared the spoils in a 1-1 draw against Trinidad and Tobago in a friendly last month. They went behind to Josiah Trimmingham's 29th-minute strike and the 28-year-old went from hero to zero when his injury time own goal drew the game level.

St. Vincent vs Jamaica Prediction
St. Vincent are the underdogs in this tie but if they are to have any chance of advancing, they have to make the most of the first leg in front of their own fans. Their games have typically been expansive.
Jamaica have won five of the last six head-to-head games and are the overwhelming favorites to advance from this tie. They have won just one of their last five games (two draws) but should have too much firepower for their hosts here.
We are backing the visitors to claim a comfortable victory with goals at both ends.
