Peru is set to face Canada in Tuesday’s Copa America match.
Peru
Peru comes into this game following a 0-0 draw against Chile in their last Copa America outing. In that match, Peru held 35% possession and had 7 shots on goal, with 4 of those on target. Meanwhile, Chile managed 11 shots on goal, with only 1 on target.
Recent results highlight the strength of Peru’s defense, which has conceded only 4 goals in their last 6 games.
Canada
Canada will be looking to bounce back from their recent Copa America defeat to Argentina. In that match, Canada had 35% possession and 10 shots on goal, with 2 on target. Argentina, on the other hand, had 19 attempts, with 9 on target, and goals from Julián Álvarez (49′) and Lautaro Martínez (88′) secured their win.
Canada’s recent matches have been high-scoring, with a total of 21 goals in their last 6 games, averaging 3.5 goals per match. However, they have conceded 14 goals in these encounters. It remains to be seen if this trend continues against Peru.
Peru will need a strong performance to break through Canada’s defense. However, we believe Canada has the capability to score at least once and secure a narrow victory.
We predict a tightly contested match ending in a 1-0 win for Canada. Our expert partners suggest betting on under 3.5 goals for this match.
