Copa America: Venezuela vs. Mexico Preview
Venezuela
All attention will be on SoFi Stadium as Venezuela faces off against Mexico in a highly anticipated Group B match. La Vinotinto showed resilience by coming from behind to defeat a ten-man Ecuador in their opener, continuing their strong form from the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. With confidence high, Venezuela is expected to secure a positive result in Inglewood.
Both Jhonder Cadiz and Eduard Bello are vying for starting positions after scoring off the bench against Ecuador. However, Darwin Machis and Cristian Casseres are both one yellow card away from suspension, which could impact their playing time.
Mexico
Mexico, meanwhile, aims to build on their hard-fought 1-0 victory over Jamaica. However, with Edson Alvarez injured in the Copa America opener, it’s predicted that the match against Venezuela will end in a draw. Luis Romo is expected to replace the injured West Ham United player in Mexico’s starting lineup.
Prediction
Considering the current form and circumstances of both teams, we predict a 1-1 draw at SoFi Stadium.
