Venezuela vs Mexico Prediction & Picks - Copa America
by Stephen Abiola in Copa America Picks
Mexico, one of the Group B favorites at the 2024 Copa American, will play Venezuela in their second match. The El Tri are coming into this competition after a strong run in the CONCACAF Nations League. They reached the finals of the North American tournament but lost to the USA 2-0 last month. Team Mexico is known for its technical skill and tactical discipline to assert its dominance in most matches.
Venezuela, on the other hand, is among the in-form teams in this completion. In fact, they are the dark horses in this group based on their current form. La Vinotinto has put up a strong performance in the South American World Cup Qualifiers, sitting fourth in the standings with 9 points. They mostly rely on the compact defensive structure to frustrate their rivals and hit them on the counter. Venezuela is undoubtedly a team on the rise.

Venezuela - Mexico: Form Analysis
Venezuela is the only Latin nation initially focused on baseball instead of football. It seems that's changing after posting a good run in the World Cup Qualifiers. They recently collected morale-boosting draws against Brazil, Ecuador, and Chile. Venezuela also narrowly lost to Italy 2-1 in an international friendly. However, They must sharpen their attack to get far in this tournament. Their attackers have only scored twice in the last four matches while drawing blanks on two occasions. They have scored an average of 0.83 goals per game during the previous six matches.
Goals have never been a problem for Mexico. They have bagged 8 goals in the last six matches, giving them a respectable average of 1.33 goals per game. In their previous 63 matches, they have scored 91 goals while conceding 62. However, the 2023 Gold Cup winners have been inconsistent heading into this event. They lost to Uruguay and Brazil in their last two matches, conceding 7 goals. Their defense obviously needs to improve, especially when playing pressing sides.

Venezuela & Mexico Squad Analysis
Venezuela has a few players who can step up and get them out of this group. Towering center forward Solomon Randon will lead their attack throughout the tournament. The 34-year-old can be a handful to deal with when at his best. Even better, Randon plays for CF Pachuca in Liga MX, so he'll play against some familiar names. Experienced midfielder Tomas Rincon, who plays for Santos in Brazil, will anchor the midfield. This Venezuelan side will depend on collective effort instead of star power.
Mexico's midfield is one of their strongest positions. They have quality players like Carlos Rodriguez, Luis Romo, and Luis Chavez to control the game's tempo and give them an edge. Santiago Gimenez of Feyenoord will lead the attack after an exemplary season in the Dutch league. He scored 23 goals and assisted 6 in 30 matches for his club. However, they'll be without goalkeeper Luis Angel Malagon, who was in great form before this event. Julio Gonzalez will start in his absence.
