Peru vs Canada Prediction & Picks - Copa America

 by Bradley Gibbs | in Copa America Picks

On Tuesday evening, two teams looking to improve after the first round of games will clash at Children's Mercy Park in Kansas City. It's Peru vs Canada. On paper, these are the two teams unlikely to make it out of Group A, but after the Peruvians secured a relatively surprising draw against Chile on match-day one, they know that they have a serious chance of going through if they can get a positive result here. After losing to world champions Argentina in the first game, the Canadians need a win, but to get that, they'll need to do something that they've not done in three matches, which is score a goal.

Peru - Canada: Form Analysis

In terms of recent form, it's quite hard to criticize the Peruvians, who without setting the world alight, have delivered some very respectable results. Ricardo Gareca's men stood firm against Chile in their first Group A game, which shouldn't be ignored, while they've now avoided defeat in each of their last six matches, picking up respectable ties against the likes of Paraguay and Venezuela. Such form suggests that they could very easily make life tough for a Canadian side struggling offensively. 

To say that the Canadians aren't packing a punch is probably an understatement. Jesse Marsch's men have now failed to find the net in three games straight. Of course, they've faced tough opponents during that time, so we shouldn't write them off based on that fact alone, but such a lack of goals is still concerning. It's also concerning that the Canucks have only beaten teams such as Cuba and Jamaica in the year.

Peru & Canada Squad Analysis

The Peruvians don't have the most glamorous squad, but what they do have is a core of players who've played together for a long time, while their squad is also filled with highly experienced campaigners such as Luis Advincula, Gianluca Lapadula and Carlos Zambrano. In players such as Miguel Araujo and Wilder Cartagena, they also have players with vital experience of playing soccer on US soil, which must be seen as a positive ahead of this tournament. 

As for Canada, well, this is arguably the best squad that they've ever had. In someone like Alphonso Davies, they have a player who plies his trade at the height of European soccer with Bayern Munich, while the likes of Jonathan David, Cyle Larin and Tajon Buchanan also play in some of Europe's best leagues. 

Peru - Canada Key Points

  1. The Peruvians are now unbeaten in six matches.
  2. The Canadians have failed to score in each of their last three games.
  3. The Canucks have won just one of their last five matches, while they haven't beaten notable opposition since 2022.
  4. The Peruvians have kept four clean sheets in their last five games.

Our Peru vs Canada Prediction

At the end of the day, this is a slightly easier task than the one that the Canucks have faced in recent games, though their lack of goals is a big worry and doesn't exactly point towards them seriously hurting a team that if nothing else is very organized and tough to break down. We saw against the Chileans that this Peru team can dig in and frustrate, while against a more open-looking side like Canada, they've got the experience and quality going forward to do some damage on the break, so we really shouldn't be surprised if they deliver something of a smash-and-grab win here. For my money, betting on the sturdy South Americans to get a result is the way to go with the early lines looking like they do. Our Prediction: Peru Draw No Bet.

Gianluca Lapadula to Score

As a secondary option, it's hard not to fancy Gianluca Lapadula to find the net here at chunky-looking odds. The hugely experienced striker has all the tools required to take advantage of what is often a far-too-open and disjointed Canadian defence. Let's not forget that this is a forward who scored a remarkable 25 goals for Cagliari the season before last, while he has experience of delivering on the big stage for his nation too, scoring three times at the last Copa America.
