Favourites
Gerardo "Tata" Martino's Mexico side start the competition as favourites and will be hoping to add to their seven trophy wins.
The US have been disappointing in build-up games ahead of the competition but first team coach Gregg Berhalter will be hoping that his "Stars and Stripes" outfit negotiate the group stage with ease and that home advantage in the quarter finals will fire his side onward.
Costa Rica will be aiming to claim their first ever Gold Cup this year and are a good outside bet with Gustavo Matosas side looking to improve after a poor World Cup performance in 2018 with "Los Ticos" limping out in the group stage.
