by Tyler Doty | in Copa America Picks
Uruguay will be looking to claim third place in Copa America 2024 this Saturday against Canada in the third-place match.

For their part, the Canucks, playing in their first Copa America, made their mark by reaching the semi-finals, where they lost to Argentina. Can the Canadian team beat the odds and upset the favorites, Uruguay? Find out this weekend at Charlotte's Bank of America Stadium!

Canada - Uruguay: Form Analysis
Canada's first appearance at the Copa America was no fluke. U.S. coach Jesse Marsch can be proud of his team, who made it all the way to the last four after finishing second in Group A to Chile (0-0) and Peru (1-0).
A penalty shoot-out victory over Venezuela (1-1, 4 tab 3) in the quarter-finals was a major achievement, but Jonathan David's team-mates fell short in the semi-final against Argentina (0-2)... Argentina have beaten Canada twice in this Copa America 2024 since Messi's team also won the group phase by the same score (2-0).
Uruguay lost their match against Colombia but had a superb Copa America 2024.
Uruguay, for their part, came very close to reaching their 22nd Copa America final, but the five-time winners of the event fell at the final hurdle against Colombia (0-1), despite being outnumbered for most of the second half. Uruguay have had an exceptional run and will be looking to finish third.
Leaders of their Group C after 3 wins over Panama (3-1), Bolivia (5-0) and the USA (1-0), La Celeste edged out last year's finalists Brazil in a penalty shoot-out after a rather dull match (0-0, 4 tab 2). Unfortunately, their subsequent performance against the Colombians proved insufficient.

Canada & Uruguay Squad Analysis
Canada will be without striker Tajon Buchanan, who played in all three group-stage matches, due to a shin injury. Apart from this absence, the coach will have all his players present for this match, but could well take advantage of the lack of challenge to rotate the squad.
And Canada's attacking prowess has suffered at this Copa America, with only 2 goals in 5 games thanks to Jonathan David's goal against Peru (1-0) and Shaffelburg's goal against Venezuela (1-1, 4 tab 3). The defense broke down 5 times, including 4 times against Argentina (0-2 and 0-2)!
La Celeste defender Guillermo Varela, who received a red card against Colombia, will be missing for this final match. Uruguay excelled offensively in the group phase, scoring 9 goals in 3 matches, but have since failed to score against Brazil (0-0, 4 tab 2) and Colombia (0-1).
Uruguay failed to find the back of the net in any of the knockout matches. Uruguay is expected to return to form against a Canadian team they beat back in September 2022 with goals from Nicolas de la Cruz and Darwin Nunez.
Canada - Uruguay Key Points
- Uruguay beat Canada in a friendly on September 27, 2022 (2-0).

Our Canada vs Uruguay Prediction
The match for third place should logically go to Uruguay, who beat Canada 2-0 in a friendly in September 2022. Uruguay, who hold the record for the most Copa America titles (15) along with Argentina, are hoping to finish on the podium and see Argentina lose to Colombia to keep the record tied. La Celeste are the big favorites in this third-place match, and their record in this year's competition demonstrates superiority both on paper and on the pitch against Canada. Our prediction for Canada vs Uruguay: Uruguay win!
