Full time: El Salvador 0–2 Jamaica. Read the match analysis →
Preview
El Salvador host Jamaica in the CONCACAF Nations League on Friday, October 2 at 10:00 p.m. ET, with the model making Jamaica the likeliest winner while leaving a substantial possibility of either a draw or an El Salvador victory. The fixture is at Estadio Cuscatlan, San Salvador; the model’s estimates point to a match in which a narrow scoreline is prominent, but no single exact result stands apart.
The model gives Jamaica 41.6%, against 29.9% for El Salvador and 28.5% for a draw. These are estimates, not certainties. Its leading outcome is a Jamaica win, though the spread across all three outcomes keeps the contest open in the forecast.
What the model expects
The expected-goals figures are 1.1 for El Salvador and 1.4 for Jamaica. The model puts under 2.5 goals at 55.7% and over 2.5 goals at 44.3%; its view therefore leans towards the under, without ruling out a game that clears the line. The numbers describe a forecast, not a guarantee of how the match will unfold.
Both teams to score is assigned 49.1%, while the chance that at least one side fails to score is 50.9%. Those figures leave the model close to an even split on whether both sides find the net. The most likely exact scores are 1-1 at 12.2%, 0-1 at 12.2% and 0-0 at 10%. The draw appears among the leading scorelines, alongside a narrow Jamaica win and a goalless outcome.
