With less than three weeks left until the Copa América begins, Mexico and Uruguay will meet in Denver on Wednesday night.
Mexico recently beat Bolivia 1-0 in Chicago with a goal from Efraín Álvarez. They played with a young team but still won. Mexico coach Jaime Lozano will bring back some key players for the upcoming matches. They will also face Brazil in Texas this month. Mexico is in Group B and will play Ecuador, Jamaica and Venezuela in the Copa América.
Lozano’s job is under pressure after losing the CONCACAF Nations League final to the United States. Fans and experts question his role and he needs good results in the Copa América to secure his place.
Uruguay will seek its 16th continental title. They recently drew 0-0 with Costa Rica in a match that coach Marcelo Bielsa did not attend. Instead, Diego Pérez led a team of new players. Uruguay has scored good goals since the World Cup in Qatar and is progressing at a good pace in its World Cup qualifiers.
