Canada hold the advantage as they host Jamaica in the second leg of the CONCACAF Nations League quarterfinal at BMO Field in Toronto.
A late winner from Stephen Eustaquio saw Les Rouges emerge 2-1 winners in Kingston, but the contest is far from over as it heads to Canadian soil.
Victory in the tie will not only see the winner move into the CONCACAF Nations League semifinal, but also secure qualification for Copa America 2024 in the U.S.
The defeated side will drop into a playoff round, giving them one final chance of earning a place at next year’s tournament. Trinidad and Tobago are possible opponents in those playoffs after they were eliminated from the Nations League by USA.

Canada vs Jamaica projected lineups & team news
Canada interim head coach Mauro Biello deployed a 4-4-2 against Jamaica in the first leg on the road, but expect him to bring back their more-utilized three-defender system. That would allow them to rotate Kamal Miller out, who picked up a yellow card in the first leg, keeping him safe for the semifinals.
In would step Alistair Johnston and Derek Cornelius, with Steven Vitoria retained alongside them.
The only injury absence for Canada at the moment is striker Lucas Cavallini, who withdrew from the squad prior to the two matches, replaced by Jacen Russell-Rowe.
Canada projected starting lineup (3-5-2): Borjan (GK) — Cornelius, Vitoria, Johnston — Laryea, Eustaquio, Kone, Kaye, Davies — David, Larin.
Jamaica saw star striker Michail Antonio go down with a gutting ACL injury in the first leg, and he now begins a lengthy rehab process. West Ham are reportedly furious about how it was handled, angered by both the conditions of the pitch in Jamaica and the fact he played another 10 minutes after sustaining the injury.
Antonio was replaced by Salernitana striker Trivante Stewart, but he struggled and was himself withdrawn in the 81st minute. Demarai Gray could step in, but he himself is struggling for fitness, and while he remains with the team he was not part of the first leg matchday squad. Another option is Colorado Switchbacks forward Romario Williams, who scored 15 goals in 29 USL Championship matches this season.
Other injuries for Jamaica to contend with include Cory Burke and Amari’i Bell, who both miss out on this international window.
Jamaica projected starting lineup (4-3-3): Blake (GK) — Leigh, Bernard, Pinnock, Lembikisa — Latibeaudiere, D. Johnson, Bailey — Reid, Nicholson, R. Williams.
