Venezuela will be looking to continue their positive momentum in the 2024 Copa America when they face Mexico in their second Group B match at the SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on Wednesday (Thursday in IST). Fernando Batista’s side will be brimming with confidence after their thrilling 2-1 comeback victory over Ecuador in their opening game, ending a five-match winless streak. Notably, Venezuela boasts an impressive unbeaten record in their last six matches against CONCACAF teams, conceding only one goal in that period, which came in a 2-2 draw with Panama in November 2022.
Mexico, on the other hand, had a more tense opening encounter, ultimately emerging victorious against Jamaica. This win extended their unbeaten streak in the group stages of the Copa America to four matches. Mexico will be aiming for their second consecutive clean sheet in the group stage, a feat they haven’t achieved since 2001. The match promises to be a captivating clash between two teams looking to secure their place in the knockout stages of the tournament.
