Mexico kicks off their Copa America campaign on Friday, and they’ll see their opening game as a must-win. It’ll be surprising if El Tri manages to get out of their group if they can’t take all three points against Bolivia.

The group mates of these two teams, Chile and Ecuador, played on Thursday with La Roja snagging an expected win. However, Ecuador looked a bit better than expected and could have grabbed a point if their finishing was a bit better. Neither Mexico or Bolivia will be favored to beat them.
Because they're playing in the Gold Cup later this summer, Mexico has taken a B-team to this tournament. Raul Jimenez, a former starter for the main side, was dropped into this team and isn't even expected to start on Friday. The big news for Bolivia is that they're starting to give chances to some younger talent, with 18-year-old Milan product Sebastián Gamarra the headliner.
