Defending champions Uruguay kick off their Copa América campaign against what is probably the weakest team in the entire tournament on Saturday. They travel to Chile’s northern port city of Antofagasta to take on Jamaica, who are one of two CONMEBOL guest teams at this year’s edition (the other being Mexico). Though The Reggae Boyz head into this tournament on the back of a good run of results, it’s tough to see them upsetting Uruguay this time around.

That isn’t to say this is a great Uruguay team -- it certainly isn’t, and they’re unlikely to retain the title they won in Argentina four years ago. They’re still without star man Luis Suárez, who is still serving an international ban after biting Giorgio Chiellini at last summer’s World Cup. However, they’ve still got Edinson Cavani providing firepower up top, and a defence marshalled by Atlético Madrid’s imperious Diego Godín. They should have enough to win this match.
