Jaime Lozano's Mexican National Team is set to face its final challenge against Brazil before kicking off their participation in the Copa América 2024. After a humiliating defeat to Uruguay, 'Jimmy' Lozano is expected to field his best lineup against the formidable Brazilian team.


Kyle Field in Texas will host this crucial preparation match, with an anticipated crowd of over 90,000 fans. The Brazilian team, known as the Cariocas, is considered one of the top contenders in the Conmebol competitions. To avoid a repeat of the 4-0 loss to Uruguay, Lozano plans to start key players like Edson Álvarez, Santiago Giménez, Julián Quiñones, and Johan Vásquez.


“We already knew that one team was going to be against Uruguay and another against Brazil, because of the work, the time they have been doing. Now we work thinking about Brazil, we are incorporating players," Lozano stated at a press conference.

### Squad Value Comparison


The value difference between the two teams is substantial, with Brazil's lineup worth nearly $363 million more than Mexico's. Despite Mexico having highly valued players like Johan Vásquez, Edson Álvarez, and Santiago Giménez, the rest of their squad is considerably less expensive compared to their South American counterparts.


### Goalkeeper Update: Why Julio González is Starting


Mexican National Team goalkeeper Luis Malagón is sidelined due to a muscle injury, which will keep him out for three to four weeks. Consequently, Julio González is expected to start in this final friendly before the Copa América.


### Match Details


The friendly between Mexico and Brazil will take place on Saturday, June 8, at Kyle Field in Texas. The match is scheduled to begin at 7:00 p.m. Mexico City time (9:00 p.m. ET).
