PREVIEW
Argentina, with its Copa America title last year and the recent La Finallissima win against Italy, has established itself as one of the contenders for the FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
The side’s most recent outing, against Honduras, saw Messi and Lautaro Martinez, two crucial attackers for Albiceleste, get on the scoresheet and seal a 3-0 win. The team, too, carried its winning streak ahead and reached 34 matches without a loss.
It will hope to continue this winning run in its last match before the big ticket event in Qatar against a relatively modest opponent - Jamaica.
Under new manager, Heimir Hallgrímsson, Jamaica is looking to build an identity and compete against the top teams. The friendly against Argentina will provide just the opportunity to the Reggae Boyz.
HEAD TO HEAD
Argentina and Jamaica have faced each other three times with Argentina prevailing on all three occasions. The most recent match was a 1-0 win for Argentina at the 2015 Copa America.
