Jamaica will face El Salvador today in 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup at BMO Field, Toronto, Ontario at 6:00 p.m. ET. The top two places in Group B are still up for grabs. Jamaica is in a better position to get it. Caribbean team will look to wrap up the top stop in this group when they take on El Salvador tonight. The Reggae boyz took an important step toward the knockout round with that dramatic finish over Canada as Captain Rodolph Austin scored in the second minute of added time.

Jamaica goes into the game with four points from a win and a draw while El Salvador and Costa Rica have two points each other from two draws. Canada is the weakness one with a lone point from a draw and a loss and will face Costa Rica later tonight; which make this group very interesting to watch what will happen after games over. Jamaica starting lineup 4-4-2 formation, while El Salvador lineup starting 4-2-3-1 formation will try to get victory.

On the other hand, El Salvador had been a surprise team in this year’s tournament as they were expected to lose all their three games in the classification round. However, a win or draw against the Jamaicans would ensure Albert Roca’s squad of a place in the quarters. A win by the Jamaicans will land them at the first place in group B, which would be unfavorable as they will run into the defending champions Teams in the semifinals.

The predicted result is a 2-0 win by Caribbean team over Center Americans. Jamaica and El Salvador have met each other a total of 17 times in the past with Jamaica winning nice, losing four and drawing the other four. Jamaica head coach Winfried Schafer said it was team spirit that produced the stoppage-time triumph. “Our spirit is very good” he said.
