Jamaica will face Guadeloupe at the Earthquakes Stadium on Friday in the second group-stage game of their 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup campaign. The Reggae Boyz were one of the favorites to advance from Group C, but have begun their continental campaign on the wrong note and will be keen to turn a corner this weekend.
They suffered a disappointing 1-0 defeat to Guatemala on opening day falling behind in the first half and failing to find a way back into the contest despite a slightly improved showing in the second.
Guadeloupe endured an even more difficult outing in their opening game as they were thrashed 5-2 by Panama. Les Gwada Boys found themselves four goals down midway through the first half and then halved the deficit via efforts from Jordan Leborgne and Florian David before their opponents scored a fifth and final goal deep into additional time.
The Gwada Boys sit rock-bottom in Group C with zero points and will be eliminated from the tournament with a defeat on Friday should Panama and Guatemala draw elsewhere.

Jamaica vs Guadeloupe Prediction
The Reggae Boyz's latest result ended a run of back-to-back victories and they will be looking to bounce back here. They have the stronger side on paper but must be wary of complacency to avoid another shock defeat.
Guadeloupe are massive underdogs heading into the weekend clash and will have their work cut out on Friday. They have failed to perform in this fixture historically and could lose this one.
Prediction: Jamaica 2-0 Guadeloupe
