The Reggae Boyz put up a tough fight against Mexico, netting a goal in the first half that was called back after a VAR review.

13.) Costa Rica, +15000

After a draw with Brazil, Costa Rica is in the third position on the table. They have shown that despite being underdogs in the tournament, they will pose a threat to any team that underestimates them. Costa Rica has another tough matchup against Colombia for their second tournament game.

8.) Chile, +3300

This Chile team, a far cry from the 2015 squad that clinched Copa America, is currently grappling with a significant challenge-scoring goals. Their struggle is evident, with a meager 0.5 goals per match in their first six World Cup qualifying matches.
