Jamaica continued to struggle for form as they fell to a humbling 3-0 defeat against Peru when the sides met in a friendly fixture last Friday.

They have now failed to taste victory in any of their last three games, picking up two draws and losing one.

Mexico, on the other hand, currently occupy third place in the standings, tied on 14 points with Panama after eight rounds of matches.

However, the Mexicans have suffered a slump in form in recent weeks, failing to win any of their last four games in all competitions, including three straight defeats against Ecuador, USA and Canada respectively.

Gerardo Martino’s men head into Friday’s game fresh off the back of a 2-2 friendly draw with Chile and will look to build on that performance.
