Argentina aims to maintain their perfect record in Copa America 2024 as they take on Peru in their final group match. La Albiceleste have demonstrated their prowess with consecutive victories over Canada (2-0) and Chile (1-0). Consequently, coach Lionel Scaloni is expected to rest key players against La Bicolor. Players like Lautaro Martinez, Marcos Acuna, Giovani Lo Celso, Angel Di Maria, and Leandro Paredes are likely to be back in the starting lineup.
Peru, on the other hand, is looking to bounce back from a 1-0 defeat to Canada. Facing a must-win situation on Sunday, Peru will likely leave gaps that Lionel Messi and his teammates can exploit on counterattacks. Considering Argentina’s recent three-game winning streak against Peru, a home victory seems probable. Adding to Peru’s challenges, defender Miguel Araujo is suspended for the match.
Prediction: 1-0 victory for Argentina.
