Preview: Mexico and Ghana face-off in Houston, USA tonight

Mexico will face Ghana in an international friendly as they prepare for their CONCACAF Gold Cup campaign on Wednesday.

El Tri are also at the Confederations Cup, so they will field a heavily rotated team at Houston's NRG Stadium.

Mexico will allow their budding stars a chance to impress as they ready themselves for the regional championships.

Mexico are no strangers to Houston having featured there during the last edition of the Copa America.

El Tri will pit their wits against the Black Stars as they prepare for the Gold Cup at the NRG Stadium.

Some of Mexico's biggest players will be missing, but they will return at a later date for World Cup qualifiers.

According to Sky Sports, Ghana are out of form having lost three of their last six contests.

Defeats to Burkina Faso, Cameroon and Egypt will have left moral low, but a draw against Benin stopped the slide in May.

Ghana have named a competitive squad for the game in the United States, including Asamoah Gyan, Frank Acheampong and Majeed Waris.

However, Andre Ayew and Jordan Ayew have been omitted from the long journey to Houston as they prepare for next season.

Mexico will be overwhelming favourites to carve out a victory, but the amount of minutes received for their squad players will be the focus.

El Tri will be determined to enjoy success at the Gold Cup, and this match will be valuable in their preparations.
