Peru DWWDWD
Chile may have dominated the match on Friday, but Peru come out of the 0-0 draw with plenty of positives. They generated seven shots with just 35% of the ball and put four of those attempts on target, forcing 41-year-old Chilean goalkeeper Claudio Bravo to make several stops and limiting the opposition to just one shot on target. Defensive strengths might be the preference of manager Jorge Fossati, who's only been in the job for six months, but the attacking performance might tease that Peru has goals in them. While goalkeeper Pedro Gallese remains the standout, midfielder Edison Flores could be key for their offensive efforts.
Canada WDLLDL
Jesse Marsch has started his tenure as the Canada head coach with some brutal scheduling, but losses to the Netherlands and Argentina and a draw against France has not quashed the group's optimism. Marsch has already begun to implement his high-risk, high-reward attacking style with Canada, taking 10 shots against an Argentina team that boasted 65% of the ball. It did not pan on on Thursday -- a somewhat-wasteful Argentina still found the back of the net twice, while Canada missed their own big chances. Against Peru, though, Marsch has a realistic chance of landing his first win in the new job and with the likes of Alphonso Davies and Jonathan David on the roster, there's no doubt they will be aiming for three points.
Peru possible starting lineup:
Gallese; Araujo, Zambrano, Callens; Polo, Pena, Cartagena, Quispe, Lopez; Lapadula, Flores
Canada possible starting lineup:
Crepeau; Johnston, Bombito, Cornelius, Davies; Buchanan, Kone, Eustaquio, Millar; David, Larin
Peru vs Canada Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
*There's not much history between the two teams and they have met twice thus far, with both meetings being friendlies. Interestingly, both teams registered away wins in these friendlies, scoring three goals each.
*La Blanquirroja have had an impeccable record in the Copa America recently, having made it to the semi-finals in four of the last five editions.
*Canada have failed to score in their last three games while conceding six goals. La Bicolor, meanwhile have kept clean sheets in their last three games across all competitions.
*The 1975 champions are winless in their last three games in the Copa America, suffering two losses and failing to score in two games.
Prediction: Peru 1-0 Canada
In these big tournaments, you have to take advantage of the opportunities presented to you, and just as we saw in the 2022 World Cup, Canada have not been able to find that decisive quality against superior opponents. Peru may not possess as much attacking depth as the Canadians, but their rock-solid backline and experienced strikers have proven they can create a magical moment when needed.
