In the early hours of Sunday, Canada and Chile will finish their Group A Copa America campaign in a potentially crucial encounter.
CanadaLes Rouges have enjoyed an inconsistent debut campaign at the Copa America. They recorded a 1-0 win over Peru in gameweek two after losing their group opener against Argentina. The result saw Jesse Marsch’s team end a three-game winless run.
Another victory would put them into the knockout rounds of the Copa America. Even a draw could be enough if, as expected, Peru is defeated by Argentina in the other gameweek three match.
Canada’s recent games have been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in four of their last five outings, including their last three international matches.
One of the main reasons for Canada's recent low-scoring matches has been a lack of goals, as they have failed to score in three of their last four outings.
ChileLa Roja heads into this clash knowing that only a win will see them advance to the competition's knockout stages. They started the campaign with a goalless draw against Peru before a 1-0 defeat against Argentina last time out.
Chile, having failed to score in Group A, will need to find their shooting boots if they are to qualify for the knockout stages.
In recent editions, La Roja has found wins hard to come by in the Copa America, having failed to win any of their games over 90 minutes. The defeat against Argentina last time out means that Chile has lost three of their previous four matches in the Copa.
Their main issue of late in the competition has been scoring goals, having failed to score in the last four games in the Copa America.
What am I backing?With so much at stake in this encounter, I can see this being a tight and low-scoring affair, so the bet I am backing is under 2.5 goals scored.
