Mexico is the overwhelming favorite to win this game and clinch a berth in the Classification Stage of the 2017 CONCACAF Men's U-17 Championship - the phase of the tournament that will decide which four teams go on to represent CONCACAF at the U-17 World Cup later this year.
But Jamaica's win over El Salvador gives the young Reggae Boyz a shot at making the next round. Unfortunately, it is a very long shot: the Jamaicans must beat El Tri and beating Mexico at this level is not easy - the USA's win over El Tri in the last round of group stage games snapped a 25-game unbeaten streak for the Mexico U-17 team in this tournament.
It would be the shock of the Championship if Jamaica were to oust Mexico. Indeed, if the game is still within reach by half-time, the Reggae Boyz will have done well.
