Venezuela's unexpected performance in the Copa America has been a highlight, as they secured a spot in the quarter-finals by defeating Mexico 1-0. Meanwhile, Jamaica's journey has been less successful, with their recent 3-1 loss to Ecuador leading to their elimination. Despite this, Jamaica made history by scoring their first-ever goal in the tournament, although they are still seeking their first point.
The Reggae Boyz are aiming to avoid a third consecutive loss under Heimir Hallgrimsson and are looking for their first win against a non-CONCACAF team since 2020. Their last victory against a CONMEBOL team was in 2016 against Chile. In contrast, Venezuela is aiming to complete the group phase with a perfect record and could match their best defensive performance by conceding just one goal in the group stage, a feat they achieved in 2016 and 2019.
Historically, Venezuela has an edge over Jamaica, having defeated them 1-0 in their only previous Copa America encounter in 2016. Sunday's match offers Jamaica a chance to make a mark, while Venezuela looks to continue their strong form heading into the knockout stages.
