By now Argentina should be cruising at the top of the Copa América’s Group B, but they threw away a two-goal lead in the final half-hour of their opening game against Paraguay to draw 2-2. The upshot is that they’re level with them on four points, with only tiebreakers keeping Tata Martino’s side at the top.

The Albiceleste are guaranteed a place in the knockout stages whatever happens in the final round of matches, but they’ll be looking to wrap up top spot and give themselves an easier draw in the next round.
They should certainly be able to do so, as on Saturday they're taking on what is probably the worst team in the competition in CONCACAF invitees Jamaica. The Reggae Boyz have lost both of their matches so far without having scored a single goal, and would need to pull off the upset of the tournament to get one over on Lionel Messi and company.
These sides last met in a competitive match back at the 1998 World Cup, when a Gabriel Batistuta hat-trick helped Argentina to a 5-0 win.
