Mexico: The team left it late, not opening the scoring until the 60th minute against Suriname, but it wasn’t for a lack of creating good chances in the match. Calm in possession, the match used to be a good start for new head coach Diego Cocca who is under pressure after Mexico’s disappointing showing at the World Cup. The team still needs to receive an actual striker going whether they’ll catch back up to america and Mexico but there’s numerous time to figure that out so long as the defense continues pitching shutouts.
Jamaica: The Reggae Boyz are in a hard spot. While they have got had a good start to Nations League, the loss of their captain and star keeper Andre Blake at the side of the absence of Michail Antonio will make this match hard to win despite the attacking talent that they’ve. The team also haven’t played a friendly throughout this window to help find their legs before a critical match so a more organized Mexico side will have to care for trade.
Prediction
After this, it is going to be two wins in two games for Cocca since taking over El Tri. Facing an overmatched Jamaica side, Mexico will get the job done and win the group. Pick: Mexico 2, Jamaica 0.
