Panama are getting ready to clash with Jamaica this coming Saturday at Perth Rectangular Stadium. The match is played as one of the games in round two of the group stage at the World Cup.
Following the first round of the World Cup Group F stage, Panama are number four with zero points, while Jamaica have one point as number three.
Coming away from their next World Cup match with anything but a defeat for Panama would be a huge surprise. It looks like a question of simply trying to minimize the defeat everyone expects them to suffer. It was a drab 0-0 opening to the World Cup which Jamaica delivered in their first match against France, but a point is a point. They’ll be hoping to be equally tough to break down in this second-round encounter.
