In the final match of Group A of this year’s Copa America, the two teams Argentina vs Peru will take the field with a formal meaning. While Messi and his teammates have secured their spot in the next round, Peru still has no chance of advancing. Here are the predictions for this match. Also, instructions for participating in betting for the match between Argentina vs Peru, which will take place at 7:00 PM on June 30.
Expert Analysis of Argentina vs Peru
Argentina has shown its superiority in Group A by securing a spot in the next round. However, coach Lionel Scaloni’s team has not fully convinced the demanding fans. Both victories were hard-fought and not very impressive. Messi, as usual, remains a great inspiration for the entire Argentina team. However, he has been somewhat unlucky in this year’s Copa America, failing to score despite creating many opportunities. The younger players of Argentina are also raising questions among the fans.
As for Peru, their chance of advancing is very slim. The only scenario for Peru to advance is to defeat Argentina by a large margin and hope for a favorable result in the other match. However, this is almost impossible as Peru has never defeated Argentina before. Additionally, Peru is facing some issues with their squad. Their top defender, Miguel Araujo, will miss the upcoming match due to a red card received in the previous match against Canada. His replacement, Anderson Santamaria, is not an optimal solution as he is already 32 years old and may struggle against the young Argentine players.
Head-to-Head Record of Argentina vs Peru
In their history, the Peru national football team has never been able to defeat their opponent, Argentina. In the most recent 5 encounters, Peru managed to draw with Argentina twice in the World Cup qualifiers in 2016-17. However, they suffered 3 defeats against Argentina.
Argentina vs Peru Betting Odds
It is likely that Lionel Scaloni will rest key attackers such as Messi and Di Maria on the bench. However, Argentina still has a strong midfield. De Paul is always active in both attack and defense. His excellent physical condition allows him to advance and create opportunities for Argentina’s forwards.
The match on the field is likely to be uneven. Even the 5 best midfielders used by coach Jorge Fossati have not been in good form. After a decent performance against Chile, their issues were evident in the match against Canada. Pena, Quispe Cordova, and Wilder Cartagena all received scores below 6.5 in the previous match.
- Total goals under: Argentina seems to still not want to unleash their power in this year’s Copa America. In their previous 2 matches, the defending champion only scored 3 goals. Meanwhile, Peru has not scored any goals yet. Therefore, betting on total goals under will be the safest option for the upcoming match with the odds being 2.5 goals.
- Choose Peru +1.25: The bookmakers offering a handicap of -1.25 for Argentina is making more experts lean towards the underdog team. In their last 5 encounters, Argentina has only beaten this handicap twice. And with having secured the right to advance, it’s very difficult to expect Argentina to play explosively in the upcoming match.
