Haiti and Mexico will square off at the University of Phoenix Stadium in the CONCACAF Gold Cup group stage on Thursday.
Haiti got their campaign off to a winning start as goals from Duckens Nazon and Frantzdy Pierrot helped them overturn a one-goal deficit against Qatar to record a 2-1 win.
Mexico recorded a 4-0 win over Honduras in their campaign opener, which remains the biggest win in the group stage thus far. Luis Romo bagged a first-half brace while Orbelín Pineda and Luis Chávez added goals in the second half.
A win in this match will help both teams to take a big step toward securing their place in the knockout stage and take a breather in the final group-stage match.
