Two of the most talented teams playing in the upcoming Copa América Centenario will face each other, in what could be an interesting and fun friendly match this Saturday.

Teams participating in the 2016 Copa América Centenario are keen on leaving their fans something to remember in the special edition of the tournament, and two of those teams will face off against each other next Saturday. Mexico, with a wide variety of well-known faces, will clash against Paraguay, an up and coming team that could surprise El Tri and their opponents in the continental tournament starting next week.

The Mexican National Team gets to this match in high spirits, carrying an unbeaten streak of 17 games. Current coach Juan Carlos Osorio has dazzled fans and experts with his smooth but effective style, which has been reinforced by the team's five while obeying his tactics. Needless to say, Mexico is considered as one of the favorites to win the 2016 edition of the Copa América, mostly because they will be backed by an enormous fanbase living in the U.S.

Mexico's crew will have a host of well-known stars. Bayer Leverkusen's Javier "Chicharito" Hernández will lead the pack, with PSV midfielder Andrés Guardado bossing the team around. FC Porto's trio of Miguel Layún, Jesús Corona and Héctor Herrera will complete an all-star cast for the Mexicans, while they look for a way to make it to the final stages of the continental tournament.

On the other side of the pitch, Paraguay has struggled to maintain consistency after earning the fourth place in last year's Copa América. Coach Ramón Ángel Díaz has managed to bring new faces to the team, but their confident playing style hasn't been rewarded as it should, considering the team's poor form in the World Cup Qualifiers, where they're currently ranked seventh.

With some key players like Roque Santa Cruz, Osvaldo Martinez and Pablo Aguilar out of the squad, coach Ramón Díaz will hope his new blood delivers for Los Guaraníes. Derlis González, Juan Iturbe and Ingolstadt's sensation Dario Lezcano will lead a crew that has enough talent to shine, but lacks the confidence to show it in top-caliber matches.

This game will be played at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, where both teams will have a good look at what's coming up for the Copa América Centenario.
