Competing in the finals of the Copa America for just the third time in their history, Jamaica will be bidding to get their Group B campaign off to the perfect start against Mexico on Saturday night.
Jamaica have never managed to win a match at the finals of the competition, while Mexico's best-ever performance at the tournament came in 1993, when they were runners-up to Argentina.
We say: Mexico 2-1 Jamaica
This is a fascinating match, as although Jamaica are the underdogs, they have a lot of quality in their side. It would not be a surprise to see the points shared on Saturday, but Mexico should ultimately have enough to collect all three points in their competition opener.
