Jamaica's Under-20 Reggae Boyz play hosts and leaders Honduras in their second Group H match of the Concacaf U20 championship this evening at 8:30 at the Estadio Francisco Morazan in San Pedro Sula.

Local coach Davion Ferguson says Jamaica is good enough to get the win.

Jamaica drew their first match with Costa Rica 1-1, while Honduras defeated Antigua and Barbuda 3-0 in the other group game.

Honduras sit two points clear of both Jamaica and Costa Rica, but Ferguson said there is not much difference between the top three teams.

"Seeing the Honduran team, seeing the Costa Rican team, and seeing the Jamaican team, I think it will be a similar game to what is was Saturday," Ferguson said.

"But the more we play in this tournament, the closer we will get to our true potential and I think that if this team is at its full potential, or even close, we should be able to win the game."

He said the Hondurans will be no pushovers and that the game can go either way.

"The result can go either way by a one-goal margin, but we should have enough," he said. "The coach (Marcel Gayle) is getting to know some of his better players and if we have our better players on the pitch from the start, I think we will have a great chance of getting the win."

If Jamaica and Costa Rica win, the team with the greater margin of victory will take leadership of the group.

However, a win for Honduras would secure their place in the next round. The top three teams will advance from the group.
