Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-1
Mexico
All eyes will be on SoFi Stadium when Venezuela and Mexico square off against each other in an eagerly-anticipated Group B game. La Vinotinto came from behind to beat ten-man Ecuador in their opener, with the team continuing where they left in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. As Venezuela footballer are brimming with confidence ahead of the trip to Inglewood, we are positive that they are going to grab something from the match.
Both Jhonder Cadiz and Eduard Bello are pushing for a start after the duo scored from the bench against La Tri, while both Darwin Machis and Cristian Casseres are one yellow card away from suspension. Mexico, on the other hand, aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Jamaica, but given Edson Alvarez’s injury in the Copa America opener, we predict that the two sides are going to share the spoils at SoFi Stadium. Luis Romo is widely expected to replace the West Ham United man in Mexico’s starting eleven.
Highlighted Player (Jose Salomon Rondon):
Over the years Jose Solomon Rondon has established himself as one of the best South American attackers. The Venezuelan striker was born in Caracas on September 16, 1989 and he played for San Jose de Calasanz at the start of his youth career. He played for the youth teams of Deportivo Guilima and Aragua as well and he continued playing for Aragua at senior level.
After scoring 15 goals in 15 appearances for the club, Salomon Rondon moved to Spain in 2008, signing a deal with La liga side Las Palmas and two years later he moved to fellow Spanish outfit Malaga. The left-footed forward scored 25 goals in 67 appearances in La Liga for los Boquerones, but in the summer of 2012 he moved to Russian club Rubin Kazan.
Despite failing to impress in 36 appearances for the Tatars, Zenit chiefs decided to bring Rondon to Sankt Petersburg in 2014 and it has to be noted that the Venezuela international scored 20 goals in 37 appearances in the Russian Premier League for the Zenitchiki. Salomon Rondon, who made his Venezuela debut in February 2008 against Haiti, currently plays for West Bromwich Albion in the Premier League.
Highlighted Team (Mexico):
Football was brought below the United States border by European immigrants who build the foundations for what went on to become one of the most prominent footballing nations in the world. El Tri have qualified to the total of 15 World Cups and have become one of six nations to qualify successfully for the tournament since 1994.
Alongside Brazil and Germany, Mexico are the only country to make it past the group stage over the last six World Cups so it is fair to say that miners from Cornwall and Spanish exiles fleeing the Civil War made a pretty good job embedding the football gene. Mexico are the reigning CONCACAF champions having beaten the surprise package Jamaica 3-1 in the final. Juan Carlos Osorio’s team is captained by Rafael Marquez who is the fourth most-capped player behind Gerrardo Torrado, Pavel Pardo and Claudio Suarez.
Bayer Leverkusen striker Javier Hernandez is the team’s biggest star and current squad’s top scorer with 81 goals to his name. Chicharito is only eight goals behind Jared Borgetti who is the nation’s top scorer.
