Much of the focus will be on strikers Javier Hernandez and Edinson Cavani. The latter will be under pressure to produce for a Uruguay squad set to miss star striker Luis Suarez for the group stage thanks to a hamstring injury.

Mexico vs. Uruguay: 2016 Copa America Preview
Mexico, known as “El Tri,” comes into Copa America on a strong run of zero goals surrendered in its past eight matches – all victories – dating back to its 3-2 win over the United States in the CONCACAF Gold Cup final last October.
While Suarez’s absence might be the match’s main story line, Mexico will be out to prove that its recent stretch is no fluke against some of the world’s elite teams this summer.
Mexico have been named as favourites for the group by Goal, and much of that belief is based on the club form of danger man Hernandez.
Yet as prolific as Bayer Leverkusen's top-scorer can be, another man may be Mexico's most important player in the final third.
While this match isn’t likely to knock either team out of positioning atop Group C, Sunday’s winner should have a better chance of avoiding tournament favorite Argentina in the quarterfinals. Although, the possibility of facing defending Copa champion Chile is not a much better reward.
After trying to gain an edge over each other first, Mexico and Uruguay will have to take care of business against fellow Group C opponents Jamaica and Venezuela before making any other plans.
For Uruguay, the match may be an uphill battle. Not only are they missing their top player, but the team will also have to play in Phoenix, which is something of a home-away-from-home for El Tri.
This is the marquee match of Group C and is likely to be a tight affair, especially early on. Mexico will play the better football and create chances, but even without Suarez, Uruguay are savvy enough to handle the pressure and sneak a goal of their own.
Mexico vs. Uruguay: 2016 Copa America Prediction: 1-1.
