Colombia is the favorite sitting at -180 while Jamaica is the underdog sitting at +145. The total sits at 1.5 goals with the over paying out at -185.
Colombia Betting Preview
Colombia finished in first place in Group H having picked up six points. Colombia won the first two games of the World Cup, but they really struggled in the last game. Colombia won games over South Korea and Germany and they scored two goals in each of those games. In the last game against Morocco though, Colombia scored zero goals and they ended up losing 1-0. Manuela Vanegas picked up her second booking of the tournament in the last game, so she’s going to be suspended for this game, and that is a big loss for this team. Daniela Caraca is someone who could move into the starting lineup here.
Jamaica Betting Preview
Jamaica finished in second place in Group F having picked up five points. Jamaica has scored only one goal total during the World Cup, but the defense hasn’t given up any goals and that’s why they have advanced. The defense has looked impressive, but now they are going to need to score to advance, unless they plan on continuing to have shutouts and taking their chances with a penalty shootout. Allyson Swaby scored in the 56th minute in Game 2 to secure that victory. Rebecca Spencer will start in goal and she has been impressive so far during the World Cup. in this game Jamaica needs to try to score the first goal and put the pressure.
Shane’s Free Pick
1.5 goals is a low total, but I expect that low total is still going to hit the under. This Jamaica defense has been so strong and they are going to lockdown in this game. This is a game that I believe is going to finish 0-0 and both teams are going to take their chances with penalty kicks late. Look for both offenses to really struggle to score here, and this game is going to stay under the total. This is a strong play, especially at plus money.
