Ecuador and Venezuela will both be looking to start the 2024 Copa América off on the right foot as they meet on Saturday.
Group B could be there for the taking, as Mexico enters the tournament on a run of dubious form while Jamaica is per the FIFA rankings the 15th-best team participating.
Ecuador is certainly hoping for more success at this Copa América after a mediocre showing in 2021. Three years ago, la Tri fumbled multiple group-stage leads before eventually being thumped by Brazil in the quarterfinals.

Venezuela, meanwhile, has started CONMEBOL’s World Cup qualifying marathon with a run of good results. La Vinotinto have conceded just three goals in six matches, with a 1-0 loss at Colombia marking the only outing in which the side has failed to claim a point.
That said, Copa América is a different animal, and Venezuela was one of just two teams to exit in the group stage in 2021. A much better performance will be required to claim a place in the quarterfinals this time around.
Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the match.
