Completing the Group B round robin competitions of the 2015 Copa America is the game between tournament favorites Argentina and guest team Jamaica. The match is going to be played at the Estadio Sausalito in Viña del Mar, Chile on Saturday, June 20.
Powerhouse Argentina is coming off a confidence-boosting 1-0 victory over perennial rival Uruguay last Tuesday. Starting forward Sergio Agüero scored the lone goal for La Albiceleste in the 56th-minute mark of their highly defensive contest, as per BBC Sport. Prior to that, Gerardo Martino's boys settled for a draw with Paraguay after leading 2-0 at halftime.
Meanwhile, Jamaica continues to struggle in this year's summer tourney as they have yet to score a goal in two matches. They both dropped consecutive 0-1 losses with Uruguay and Paraguay, and their chances against the mighty Argentinians seemed to be even slimmer.
Jamaica's last game against Paraguay is a stunner, as Winfried Schäfer's goalkeeper Duwayne Kerr virtually handed the goal to La Albirroja's Edgar Benítez with a crucial mistake of leaving his net unattended, via Bleacher Report.
However, Martino is keen on reminding his team not to be relaxed and overconfident against the gritty Reggae Boyz. They still need to play their best game as the current Copa appears to be having a lot of upset wins from tournament underdogs. Argentina needs to win this game to move on top of the group with seven points entering the quarterfinals.
The prediction is Uruguay over Paraguay, 1-0. The game will be close, possibly a late minute goal for Cavani. But Paraguay can surprise.
Uruguay starting lineup (4-1-3-2 formation): Muslera; M. Pereira, A. Pereira, Giménez, Godin; Rios; Rodriguez, Lodeiro, Sánchez; Cavani, Rolán
Paraguay starting lineup (4-4-2 formation): Silva; M. Cáceres, da Silva, Aguilar, Samudio; Valdez, Ortigoza, V. Cáceres, Ortiz; Bobadilla, Santa Cruz
