Welcome to our live coverage of the 2024 Copa América match between Mexico and Jamaica! The game is set to take place at NRG Stadium in Houston, and Yahoo Sports senior soccer writer Henry Bushnell is present at the scene to provide updates.
Mexico and Jamaica last faced off in the 2023 Gold Cup semifinals, where Mexico emerged victorious with a 3-0 win over the Reggae Boyz. This victory propelled Mexico to its ninth Gold Cup title, making them the most successful team in the tournament’s history. However, for Saturday’s match, Mexico’s roster will feature many new faces as manager Jaime Lozano has chosen to call up younger players instead of seasoned veterans.
Despite the lineup changes, Mexico is considered the favorite to win on Saturday, with odds of -225 at BetMGM. Jamaica, on the other hand, is facing its own challenges with star players like Leon Bailey and Andre Blake unavailable for selection. Bailey, who plays for Aston Villa, has opted not to play for Jamaica due to disagreements with the national soccer federation, while veteran goalkeeper Andre Blake is sidelined with a knee injury. As a result, Jamaica will have to rely on other players to step up and deliver a strong performance against Mexico.
