Jamaica will host the first leg of their 2023/24 CONCACAF Nations League quarterfinal with Canada on Saturday. Canada will four days later on Wednesday host the return match. The winner of this tie will then play either defending champions USA or Trinidad and Tobago in the semifinals. Jamaica are unbeaten in the Nations League this season. They won three of their four matches to finish top in Group B of League A with 10 points. Heimir Hallgrimsson’s men will now seek to maintain this unbeaten status by drawing first blood against Canada. The Reggae Boyz have been one of the most prolific teams this season and scored 10 goals in the group stages. Demarai Gray has netted three goals and is the joint top scorer. Jamaica have won twice in the last five meetings with Canada.

Canada haven’t lost in the last three meetings with Jamaica. They have won twice with one of those victories ending 4-0 the last time they met. This was last year in World Cup qualifying. Mauro Biello's men will hope the stars align for them again as they seek to get back to winning ways. Canada have been defeated in their last two outings. After their Gold Cup quarterfinal elimination on penalties by the USA, Canada were defeated 4-1 last time out by Japan in a friendly. The North Americans have struggled to win matches in the final half of the year. They have registered only one win in their last six games and have lost three times. The Reds qualified directly for the quarterfinals as they are one of four best-ranked teams in the region.
