Venue: Banc of California Stadium (Los Angeles).
Jamaica
Jamaica could have booked their place with one game left to play in the group stage, but drew 0-0 with El Salvador at BBVA Stadium on Friday night. The first shot on the frame did not occur until the 76th minute when Shaun Francis opened fire from a distance. But Henry Hernandez was the same as the task, crashing to fend it off.
Reggae Boyz is on par with El Salvador in the top of the group with four points, but has an edge on goals scored. Curacao is third on three points, while Honduras have been eliminated from advancing after a successive defeat.
Curacao
After losing 1-0 to El Salvador to open Group C, Curacao made a big push to reach the knockout stages with a 1-0 win over Honduras at BBVA Stadium on Friday night.
Eloy Room keeper was sensational, making 13 saves to block the Honduran attack, while Leandro Bacuna scored Curacao's first historic Gold Cup to seal their first Gold Cup victory, stepping back to lock into Gevaro Nepomuceno's service and putting a low shot on goal from 14 yards.

Worth mentioning: Both countries have met only twice in history before, because both times are the winning side. Both matches take place in 2017, with less than one month between them. Curacao first won the Caribbean Cup Final with a score of 1: 2, but less than three weeks later lost their opening match of the 2017 Gold Cup to Jamaica. Only one of the meetings featuring more than 2.5 goals and the same match witnessed a goal at both ends, because Jamaica were able to keep clean sheets at the other.
Jamaica vs Curacao predictions
Curacao is unlikely to win and three points from Jamaica in their match against each other on Wednesday.
Remko Bicenti's forces could only win the lowest difference in their last meeting against Honduras. Before the win, they suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat at the hands of El Salvador. The forces so far have been convinced to create opportunities and take it.
It must thwart the opposition from enjoying a lot of time on the ball because their colleagues have shown interest in maintaining a majority of ownership in their last two matches.
This match is likely to see the most two or three goals with a victory that certainly swings in favor of Jamaica.
