class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Having run out emphatic winners over the Reggae Boyz in the most recent meeting, Al Hain-Cole is backing Berhalter's men to ease to victory in Texas

USA will be looking to continue their path to Gold Cup glory when they take on Jamaica at the AT&T Stadium in Sunday’s quarter-final clash.

Gregg Berhalter’s men reached the knockout stages with three wins from three group games, scoring eight goals and conceding just one.

USA vs Jamaica latest odds

Having run out 4-1 winners against this opposition in March’s friendly clash, USA are 9/20 (1.45) favourites with bet365 to ease into the final four by coming out on top in Texas.

Jamaica have made it through to the semi-finals in each of the last three editions of this tournament but are 11/2 (6.50) outsiders to progress once again by upsetting the holders.

None of the last 11 meetings between this duo have resulted in draws, but you can get odds of 10/3 (4.33) on them cancelling each other out in this one.

USA vs Jamaica team news

Paul Arriola will be assessed after missing the final group game against Canada due to a minor hamstring injury.

Theo Whitmore made eight changes for the final group game against Costa Rica, with Damion Lowe, Devon Williams and Blair Turgott the only players to retain their place in the starting line-up.

USA vs Jamaica preview

Despite coming into this tournament without their biggest star players in a fairly untested squad, the Stars and Stripes have still looked like one of the two teams to beat alongside fellow giants Mexico.

Having shown their resilience in finding a way past a stubborn Haiti team in the opener, they thrashed minnows Martinique 6-1 before coming out on top in the final group showdown against rivals Canada.

Seemingly going from strength to strength, they will back themselves to maintain their strong record against a Jamaican team they have beaten in the knockout stages in three of the last five Gold Cups.

USA vs Jamaica tips & predictions

Indeed, the emphatic 4-1 victory over this opposition just four months ago suggests odds of 7/5 (2.40) offer solid value on USA winning by at least two clear goals in front of a home support in Arlington.

class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>Having struggled for cutting edge recently, Al Hain-Cole thinks Priestman’s side will struggle to break down a watertight Team GB defence in Kashima

Great Britain and Canada will compete for first place in Group E when they meet at the Kashima Soccer Stadium in Tuesday’s Olympic Games clash.

Hege Riise’s team have already booked their place in the knockout stages after taking six points from the first two matches, beating Chile 2-0 before edging out hosts Japan 1-0.

Canada vs Team GB latest odds

Team GB are now even money (2.00) favourites with bet365 to extend their 100 per cent record by coming out on top against the team that has won bronze at both of the last two Olympics.

Canada drew with Japan before beating Chile 2-1 in their second match and are available at 5/2 (3.50) to leapfrog their opponents into top spot with a win here, or priced at 2/1 (3.00) to secure second place by grinding out their fourth draw in five fixtures.

Canada vs Team GB team news

Fran Kirby will face a late fitness test after missing the opening two matches due to a slight knock she sustained in the team’s pre-tournament training camp.

Stephanie Labbe remains a doubt due to the injury that forced her off in the opening game against Japan, with Kailen Sheridan likely to continue in goal.

Canada vs Team GB preview

Despite being able to call upon international football’s all-time leading scorer in 187-goal Christine Sinclair, Bev Priestman’s side have not found goals particularly easy to come by so far.

Having been punished for failing to build on their sixth-minute opener in the 1-1 draw with Japan, they were grateful to hold on after seeing their 2-0 lead cut in half by Chile in a match that saw them miss a number of chances.

The lack of cutting edge was actually a cause for concern coming into the tournament, having scored just six times in seven matches before arriving in Japan.

This does not bode well for a game against Team GB, who have kept two of the three clean sheets recorded in the 12 matches at these Olympic games so far.

Canada vs Team GB tips & predictions

With Great Britain unlikely to leave themselves open in a match they only need to draw in order to secure first place, odds of 7/10 (1.70) offer decent value on them ensuring under 2.5 goals for their third game in a row and an eighth match in 10 for Canada.
