Team news & squads
Mexico team news
Mexico enters the Gold Cup as the clear front-runner and heavy favorite to defend their crown, and their squad reflects it. Aside from a couple of absentees, this is essentially a dress rehearsal for the group that could represent El Tri at the World Cup next summer.
Still, being the team to beat comes with pressure. While Mexico boasts plenty of quality and encouraging form, recent history shows they've occasionally stumbled while trying to cling to their title, and every opponent will be eager to knock them off their perch.
Edson Alvarez wears the captain's armband and shoulders the weight of leadership, both on and off the pitch. He's not just the skipper, he's the metronome that keeps Mexico ticking. His influence will be crucial if they're to go the distance.
After being given a breather in the recent win over Turkey, Raul Jimenez and Santiago Gimenez are expected to return to the starting XI and lead the line for Mexico in a two-pronged attack. Once a fixture between the posts for El Tri, veteran shot-stopper Guillermo Ochoa is likely to watch from the sidelines this time, with younger options getting the nod.
Dominican Republic team news
On the other side, the Dominican Republic will stick with their tried-and-tested centre-back duo of Luiyi de Lucas and Edgar Pujol, who helped shut out Dominica in a dominant display last time out.
The spotlight could shine brightest on Peter Gonzalez, the Getafe youngster who delivered three goal contributions in that convincing victory. With confidence soaring, he'll be eager to light up the Gold Cup stage for Los Quisqueyanos.
