Mexico and Jamaica both begin the 2024 Copa America Group B campaign with realistic hopes of deep tournament runs.
Following a disappointing group stage exit from the 2022 FIFA World Cup, Mexico replaced Tata Martino with former Necaxa head coach Jaime Lozano. His appointment, however, has not resulted in much improvement in their performances. They come into this one on the back of back-to-back warm-up defeats to Uruguay and Brazil.
Jamaica, meanwhile, return for their third Copa America tournament, having failed to get out of their group in 2015 and 2016. The Reggae Boyz will be looking to harness the Premier League quality of players like Michail Antonio, Demarai Gray and Bobby Decordova-Reid.
