Mexico vs. Paraguay: Marquez ready to make the most of 'great opportunity'

Mexico faces Paraguay on Saturday as the two nations ramp up preparations for next month's Copa America Centenario.

Rafael Marquez is hoping Mexico can take advantage of the "great opportunity" ahead as El Tri step up preparations for the Copa America Centenario with a friendly versus Paraguay.

Mexico is unbeaten in its last 17 games and will look to build momentum after receiving an invitation to the Copa America for the 10th straight tournament.

El Tri have reached the final in 1993 and 2001 and will be expected to progress from the group stage at the 100th anniversary tournament, having been drawn alongside Uruguay, Venezuela and Jamaica in Group C.
