Will our algorithm predict a win for Mexico over Jamaica on matchday No. 1?
Mexico and Jamaica will meet on Saturday in Houston, Texas to kick off their Copa America 2024 campaigns. The two CONCACAF rivals are in Group B along with Ecuador and Venezuela.
Both Mexico and Jamaica qualified for this summer’s expanded Copa America. Mexico, despite their struggles, have the fifth-best odds to win the tournament at 13.00. Jamaica are at odds of 151.00 to win the Copa America, making them a long shot.
Mexico have a record of 9W-4D-2L against Jamaica dating back to 2003. These teams are regular opponents in CONCACAF.
Jamaica failed to defeat Mexico in their last five head-to-head encounters. Mexico won three and drew two of those five matches.
These teams last met in 2023 in the semifinals of the CONCACAF Gold Cup. Mexico won the fixture 3-0.
Head coach Jaime Lozano shook up the squad with his player selection. Carlos Acevedo will likely start in goal against Jamaica. He only has six caps for the Mexican squad.
West Ham midfielder Edson Alvarez will wear the armband for Mexico. He has made 78 appearances for El Tri. Feyenoord striker Santiago Gimenez will be counted on to be Mexico’s chief goal scorer, but he has only four goals in 27 appearances for the team.
The majority of the Mexico squad is made up of domestic players. Just seven of the team's players play outside of Mexico.
Jamaica go into Euro 2024 matchday No. 1 on a three-game winning streak. A 1-0 win over Panama was followed by a 1-0 victory against Dominican Republic. Jamaica’s most recent victory came against Domenica, 3-2.
Mexico are a step up, and it could lead to Jamaica struggling to score goals. Goalkeeper and captain Andre Blake will anchor the Jamaican team.
Jamaica have plenty of quality in the squad, including Michail Antonio, Demarai Gray, and Leon Bailey. Despite the quality in the Jamaican squad, they may have difficulty gelling as a team.
Mexico are unbeaten in five straight games against Jamaica. Their form should continue against the Reggae Boyz. However, with Mexico in poor form, our score prediction is for a nil-nil result on matchday No. 1.
A draw between Mexico and Jamaica could open the door for Ecuador and Venezuela to finish first and/or second in the group.
