Predictions and Best Bets for Mexico vs. Jamaica in the Copa 2024 Group Match

Edson Alvarez

Jaime Lozano, the coach of Mexico, is leading his team into the 2024 Copa America with high hopes for their recent performances.

The upcoming match at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas, will feature Mexico facing off against Jamaica in their Copa America opener.

Mexico has had a break of 14 days since their last match against Brazil, giving Lozano time to refine the team’s tactics and gameplay.

Despite struggling in their recent friendly matches, Mexico’s fans are optimistic that the team has addressed any issues before the upcoming opener.

Under the guidance of coach Heimir Hallgrimsson, Jamaica will be missing Leon Bailey for the tournament as he declined the call-up. This absence leaves Jamaica with some challenges, but English-born attackers like Michail Antonio and Demarai Gray are expected to provide a threat to Mexico’s defense.

Mexico vs. Jamaica Prediction and Odds

  • Moneyline lean: Mexico (-150)
  • Score prediction: Mexico 2-1 Jamaica

Mexico enters the match as the favorite with players like Santiago Gimenez, Alexis Vega, and Julian Quinones aiming to score in front of their enthusiastic fans. Mexico holds a strong record against Jamaica in their recent encounters.

However, a draw is also a likely outcome due to the talented players on both teams like Antonio, Gray, and Bobby Decordova-Reid.
