Player to watch: Raul Jimenez
Pairing up with Gimenez up front, veteran Raul Jimenez comes into this clash in impressive form following the league season with Fulham.
The 34-year-old netted 14 goals in 43 games across competitions for Fulham, but it is probably his match winning brace for Mexico in the CONCACAF Nations League 2025 final in March against Panama that takes the cake.
