Venezuela

Fernando Batista's team has always been considered the underdog in South American football, yet they have started well in the new qualification for the 2026 World Cup. Following a narrow 0-1 defeat to Colombia in the opening round, Venezuela secured points in a draw with Brazil (1-1), victories over Paraguay (1-0) and Chile (3-0), and draws with Ecuador (0-0) and Peru (1-1). Consequently, after six rounds, "La Vinotinto" occupies fourth place in the South American qualifiers standings.

In preparation for the start of the Copa America, Fernando Batista's squad played three friendly matches without much success. In mid-December, Venezuela lost to Colombia (0-1), followed by defeats to Italy (1-2) and a draw with Guatemala (0-0) in the spring. However, their current form was evident in the first-round match against Ecuador. Despite Valencia’s red card affecting the game, "La Vinotinto" conceded first but managed to score twice and secure a victory.

Mexico

The "El Tri" is one of the strongest teams in the CONCACAF region and is rightfully among the favorites for the Copa America. Last year, the "Tricolores" won the CONCACAF Gold Cup but lost 0-2 to the United States in the Nations League final in the spring. In preparation for the Copa America, Jaime Lozano's team held several friendly matches.

The first of these was last autumn, where Mexico lost 2-3 to Colombia at home. The summer training sessions began with a 1-0 victory over Bolivia, but subsequently, "El Tri" suffered heavy defeats, 0-4 to Uruguay and 2-3 to Brazil. In the first round, Mexico faced Jamaica and, as the match favorite, secured three points with a 1-0 victory.

Interesting facts about the match and head-to-head history

• In the last five encounters between these teams, both sides scored in four matches.
• In the last three matches, Mexico secured two victories over Jamaica, with no losses.
• The "Total Over 2.5" bet played out in three of the last five matches.

Venezuela vs Mexico prediction

Mexico is the expected favorite in this matchup, with odds of 2.20 for their victory. On the other hand, no one anticipated this being a match between the group leaders after the first round. A safer bet would be "Mexico to win with a handicap (0)" with odds of 1.60.
