Mexico vs. Uruguay: 2016 Copa America Date, Time, TV Schedule and Live Stream

Some of the finest attacking talent at the 2016 Copa America will be on display when Mexico meet Uruguay in Group C in the early hours of Monday.

Much of the focus will be on strikers Javier Hernandez and Edinson Cavani. The latter will be under pressure to produce for a Uruguay squad set to miss star striker Luis Suarez for the group stage thanks to a hamstring injury.

Mexico have been named as favourites for the group by Goal, and much of that belief is based on the club form of danger man Hernandez.

"Few players come into the Copa America on the back of a better season than Hernandez, who scored 17 goals to finish as the fourth-highest scorer in his first season in the Bundesliga," noted Goal's preview for the tournament.

Hernandez is a ruthlessly efficient finisher in the box, able to put away chances with the right or left foot or by using his underrated ability in the air.

Yet as prolific as Bayer Leverkusen's top-scorer can be, another man may be Mexico's most important player in the final third. 

PSV Eindhoven playmaker Andres Guardado boasts the vision and craft to create the chances Hernandez will need to thrive. Back in March, Andrea Canales of ESPN FC wrote how Guardado's style of play perfectly fits a "group that uses clever passes and team movement to help combat the athleticism and larger size of many of their opponents."

Stymieing Guardado's creative intent is no easy task, but Uruguay might have the ideal player for the job. Veteran defensive midfielder Egidio Arevalo Rios has been identified as one to watch by the Guardian's Jonathan Wilson.

"At 34, he’s not exactly a new talent bursting onto the stage, but he has been a weirdly underappreciated member of the Uruguay national side for a decade, his energy and reading of the game in front of the back four protecting tough but slow central defenders," he said.

Keeping Guardado quiet is one thing, but Uruguay's biggest challenge may be getting goals without talisman Suarez. His absence gives Cavani a great opportunity to shine.

The Paris Saint-Germain No. 9 has the aerial presence, shooting power and excellent technique to trouble any defence at this year's Copa.

This is the marquee match of Group C and is likely to be a tight affair, especially early on. Mexico will play the better football and create chances, but even without Suarez, Uruguay are savvy enough to handle the pressure and sneak a goal of their own.

Prediction: 1-1.
