Argentina vs. Peru Predictions

Prediction, Odds & Betting Tips for Argentina vs. Peru at Copa America 2024

Where: Hard Rock Stadium, Miami, USA
When: Sunday, June 30, 08:00 AM

Argentina is already in the knockout stage, and if there aren’t some unrealistic outcomes in Group A in the last round, the world champions will head there as the first-placed team. Peru needs a miracle to advance to the quarterfinals. Besides a tie in the match between Canada and Chile, they must beat Gauchos by at least a two-goal margin. This is a bit tough, considering Messi and the boys rarely lose.

Argentina vs. Peru Preview

Argentina

The world champions can lay back and enjoy this one, and that’s why head coach Scaloni won’t bring out his best team on the Hard Rock Stadium field. It’s expected that Messi will skip this event due to a knock picked up in the previous event.

Over the last 58 appearances, Argentina has lost only twice, once to Saudi Arabia at the World Cup and the other against Uruguay in the recent World Cup qualifications. Though, the previous failure didn’t disturb the Gauchos, who now have a seven-game winning streak.

They haven’t allowed a goal in this tournament and are likely to win the top spot in the assembly. This situation allows Scaloni to combine and rest players against Peru.

Peru

Albirroja needs at least a two-goal margin win here to be even in consideration for the second spot. Of course, knowing Argentina’s form, that’s not likely to happen, but overall, where is hope, there is battle as well.

This team is modest in most aspects of the game and generally lacks quality. At 40 years of age, Paulo Guerrero is still the biggest star on the roster, which tells plenty. Peru’s unit is very old, built from players who are 30+ years old and only a handful of young guys.

Four of the previous five meetings this unit played had under 2.5 hits, suggesting that Peru’s games aren’t efficient. This is logical, as Albirroja always takes a conservative approach.

Argentina vs. Peru Predictions

Even though Argentina might play with the second lineup, they still won’t be underdogs against the Peruvian unit. There are way too many high-quality players on their roster. We expect to see one very slow and tough event with fewer than three goals. Also, those who want to take some risk bet on Peru getting a red card.

Our verdict: Under 2.5 goals
