Mexico will be hoping to pick up their first win of the U-17 World Cup group stage when they face Venezuela at the Si Jalak Harupat Stadium on Wednesday.
Tahiel Jimenez' 75th-minute goal came too late in Mexico's opening game against Germany and the result was a 1-3 defeat. They have won six out of seven games this year before the defeat against Germany and will want to get back on the winning track right away.
Leenhan Romero, with two goals to his name, was the hero for Venezuela who picked up a 3-0 win against New Zealand in their tournament opener. They will be confident of putting up a challenge against Mexico in the upcoming fixture.
