Group B action in the 2024 Copa America continues tonight with a pair of matches. Ecuador takes on Jamaica in Las Vegas, the first game of the day before group favorites Venezuela and Mexico face off from SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.

Mexico earned a 1-0 win over Jamaica in the first game of group play but at a cost. Captain Edson Álvarez left the game in the first half with a hamstring injury and is out indefinitely. He's the most experienced player on the team with 78 matches under his belt prior to the Copa America. El Tri managed to get the win thanks to a goal by Gerardo Arteaga in the second half. They'll be facing a tougher challenge against Venezuela.

Venezuela enters this one fresh off a 2-1 comeback win over Ecuador in their Group B opener. Ecuador scored in the 40th minute but second half goals from Jhonder Cádiz's and Eduard Bello secured the team's first win since last October.

Venezuela vs. Mexico predictions

Sports Mole: Venezuela 2, Mexico 1

Joel Lefevre writes: "Losing Alvarez is a big blow to the Mexicans, who have struggled with consistency since Lozano took charge, looking shaky in numerous instances against the Reggae Boyz. Venezuela will be brimming with confidence after their opening victory, and we believe they have the quality to unlock that Mexican backline and provide another surprise."

Sportsbook Review: Venezuela 1, Mexico 1

Anthony Wootton says: "Saturday’s match was just the second time in ten games that Venezuela managed to score more than one goal... Mexico peppered Jamaica’s goal in their Group B opener. They had 30 touches inside Jamaica’s box and recorded nine shots on target, their most at the tournament since 2011... [they] have scored at least twice in ten of their last 13 meetings with Venezuela and remain unbeaten... El Tri have not had back-to-back wins in their last ten games in all competitions. They will be impacted by the loss of captain, Edson Alvarez."

The Hard Tackle: Venezuela 1, Mexico 1

Staff write: "Venezuela’s historic comeback and solid defence against CONCACAF teams show they are capable of challenging Mexico. However, Mexico’s consistent form and ability to control possession make them a formidable opponent. A lot will depend on who is more clinical in the final third and the Hard Tackle predicts a 1-1 draw on the night."

Mexico players to watch

FW Santiago Giménez: The striker for the Dutch club Feyenoord finished the 2023-24 season with 23 goals, third-best in the Eredivisie. He finished the season on a high note with two goals and two assists in the final three games of the season. He played 67 minutes in Mexico's Copa America opener against Jamaica and had two shots on goal. With captain Edson Álvarez out for the foreseeable future, he needs to produce for El Tri.

MF Luis Romo: Romo entered the game following Álvarez's hamstring injury and played well against Jamaica. He assisted on the winning goal by Gerardo Arteaga in 61 minutes of action. He could play a big role once again and be a key part of replacing Álvarez's production in the aggregate.

Venezuela players to watch

MF Yangel Herrera: The midfielder was a pivotal part of the Spanish club Girona FC's defense in the 2023-24 season that saw the club finish third in La Liga. Girona earned a win over FC Barcelona with him on the field to secure a spot in the UEFA Champions League next year. He'll be a key player on defense for Venezuela tonight.

FW Salomón Rondón: The most experienced player on Venezuela's national team, Rondón assisted on Jhonder Cádiz's tying goal in a 2-1 win over Ecuador in their opening game of the group stage. He's played in more than 100 games for the national team in his career. With Pachuca in Liga MX, Rondón closed the season with two goals in his final three matches.
