Guadeloupe: Guadeloupe have their central defender, Steve Solvet out for the game. He was shown a red card in the 54th minute against Costa Rica. In place of Solvet, Thomas Pineau might start at Exploria Stadium on Saturday. Barring this, the gaffer is expected to field the same players on Saturday.

Jamaica: Jamaica were able to break the winning run of Suriname in the first game itself. The Fulham FC striker, Bobby Reid was able to score the goal in his first appearance for Reggae boys since 2019. He will be a player to watch on Saturday. Cory Burke is still searching for a goal in the competition. The team management will be concerned on player’s form. Moreover, we expect him to drop to bench at Exploria Stadium.
