Copa America Predictions: Argentina – Peru (29-06-2024)
The Copa America 2024 tournament is in full swing, and Argentina is the first team to secure a place in the playoffs. In Group A, Argentina has two wins – 2-0 against Canada and 1-0 against Chile.
This means that the last group game against Peru will be a formality, which will have no consequence for the Argentines, who have not only qualified for the playoffs but also finished first in the group.
⚽ Match prediction: total UNDER 2.5 @ 1.70 |
The game against the Argentines will be decisive for Peru, but it is no longer only up to them. Peru drew 0-0 with Chile and lost 0-1 against Canada. This means that they would have four points if they beat the Argentines.
Canada currently has three, and if they drew with Chile, they would have four and secure second place, as they have a head-to-head advantage over Peru.
Peru can only qualify for the next round if Chile wins against Canada, Peru beats Argentina, and Peru has a better goals scored/conceded ratio than Chile.

Argentina successfully creates chances but needs to work on the execution; the defence works well. In the first two games, not a single goal has been conceded. With their style of play, the Argentines do not allow their opponents to feel comfortable with the ball.
As we have said, the last match is no longer decisive for the Argentines. We can expect that the leading players, especially the veterans Messi, Angel Di Maria, and others, will be given a rest. The attacking talent on the pitch will be much less than in the last match.
There may be even more problems with execution, and the motivation will certainly not be the same. Meanwhile, there should still be a lot of desire to keep the score dry, even in a close game.
Since 2017, Argentina and Peru have played each other four times, and Peru has not scored a single goal, ending with 0-0, 2-0, 1-0, and 2-0.
