World Cup qualifying continues on Friday with Group A play in the Soccer Betting CONCACAF Gold Cup.   All four teams will be in action on Friday as Jamaica faces Canada and El Salvador takes on Costa Rica.

Jamaica is a -135 favorite against Canada with a total of 2.5 under while Costa Rica is a -250 favorite on the three-way line against El Salvador with a total of 2.5 over at SBG Global.

Jamaica is the dangerous team in this group.  They have not lost since last September which means a 13 match unbeaten streak.  They have allowed only five goals in their last eight matches.  They can also score which makes them a threat in this group. Canada played well in their last two matches against Cyrpus and Guatemala as Ali Gerba scored two goals.  Neither of those games meant anything though so Canada still has to prove they are a contender. “A friendly is a friendly and we have no illusions about that. It’s much different when points are on the line,” interim head coach Stephen Hart said. “Training has gone well. I wish I had one more international friendly leading into (the tournament). But that’s not going to happen.”

Costa Rica is playing the best of any team in this group and is the favorite to advance.  They had good wins over the United States and Trinidad & Tobago and they look to be in good shape to advance to the World Cup. “Costa Rica is arguably the best team right now in CONCACAF, just on their performances lately,” Hart said. El Salvador is the mystery team in this group.  They lost to Costa Rica back in April but beat Ecuador in a friendly and they tied Jamaica.  They beat Mexico 2-1 but lost to Honduras 1-0.  Anything is possible with this El Salvador team.  Opening up against Costa Rica is no bargain though.
