Jamaica vs Nigeria Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Unity Cup 2025 final

The Super Eagles eye defending their title.

The 2025 Unity Cup final fixture takes us to the Gtech Community Stadium in Brentford, where Jamaica and Nigeria lock horns against each other.

Jamaica have made it to the finals of the Unity Cup by clinching a thrilling win over Trinidad and Tobago in the previous match. The match was inching closer to extra time, but a 94th-minute penalty conversion from King saw Jamaica heading to the finals.

Jamaican team has also been in sublime form in all other competitions. They thrashed Saint Vincent and the Grenadines 4-1 in the prelims of the CONCACAF Gold Cup qualifiers recently.

The Nigerian team are the defending champions of the Unity Cup. The reigning champions entered the finals after getting past Ghana in their previous encounter. A goal from Dessers and an own goal from Simpson saw them double their lead in the first 20 minutes.

Their form in the FIFA World Cup Qualifiers has been underwhelming so far after settling for four draws in the six matches they have played.

Players to watch :

Amari’i Bell (Jamaica)

The Jamaican prodigy has risen through the ranks of Birmingham City, Blackburn Rovers and Luton Town. He has made 21 appearances for Jamaica. He scored his debut goal against Guatemala in the 2023 CONCACAF Gold Cup.

His wealth of experience could be immensely beneficial for Jamaica as they look forward to causing an upset by getting the better of the Super Eagles in the finals.

Samuel Chukwueze (Nigeria)

The 26-year-old Nigerian right winger from Abia State has been a product of the Villarreal youth setup before plying his trade for AC Milan since 2023. The striker has been in fine form for the Super Eagles, with his most recent goal coming against Rwanda in the 2025 AFCON Qualifiers.

He was part of the national team outfit that stood up as the runners-up of the 2023 African Cup of Nations and the 2019 roster that clinched a bronze.
