The relatively balanced correlation of forces will make the match between Peru vs Chile in the first round of Group A, this year’s Copa America, certainly very exciting. Both teams will fiercely compete for the remaining spot to advance, especially with the presence of the powerhouse Argentina in Group A. Let’s delve into the match analysis and betting guide for the upcoming match between Peru vs Chile at 7:00 PM on June 22.

First half match analysis of Peru vs Chile

Despite fielding a team with many players over 30, coach Ricardo Gareca’s team always starts with high spirits. Chile’s fast-paced play in the first 45 minutes has always been an advantage for them. Statistics also show that in all 3 matches in 2024, Chile scored the opening goal in the first half. However, scoring in the first half is all they have managed, as they have only scored more than one goal in the first half in a single match against Paraguay. After scoring, Alexis Sanchez and his teammates often ease off, providing a great opportunity for opponents to equalize. This makes the first half of the match between Peru vs Chile highly anticipated. In the Asian handicap market, the bookmakers have set the handicap odds at -0.25 HT for Chile. With such odds, the choice from the experts will be the upper hand. Additionally, with the over/under odds stopping at 0.75 goals, the Over option is clearly the high-winning probability choice. Prediction: Chile -0.25 HT, Over goals

Full match analysis of Peru vs Chile

An interesting point when looking at the history of matches between Peru and Chile is that the matches have been quite one-sided. Whether Peru or Chile wins, they have not allowed their opponents to score any consolation goals. On the Chilean side, coach Ricardo Gareca is quite pleased with his new find, Marcelino Nunez. The Norwich player has proven to be a good partner to play alongside his senior teammate Erick Pulgar. Together, they have created a very reliable midfield for Chile, contributing a total of 3 goals and 2 assists in 3 matches for the national team in 2024. Meanwhile, Peru’s top striker, Edison Flores, is still too isolated in the attacking line. His familiar teammate, Gianluca Lapadula, has turned 34 and can no longer maintain his usual pace. As for the younger generation, the young forwards that Jorge Fossati has are all too unlucky whenever given the chance to play. The optimal choice for the upcoming match between Peru vs Chile is definitely the Over bet. The odds from the bookmaker are only 2 goals. In the last 5 encounters between these two teams, there has not been a single match with less than 2 goals. Additionally, the goal-scoring form of both teams is quite impressive. On average, in the last 5 matches, each team has scored around 1.6 goals per game.

In terms of the handicap odds, Chile is still considered the stronger team. The specific handicap odds given are -0.5 FT. Despite being unbeaten in the 2 preparation matches for this year’s Copa America, Peru still lacks the trust of the fans. They were held by Paraguay’s second team before defeating the much weaker El Salvador with a minimal margin. Meanwhile, Chile had a balanced match against the French national team and gained high morale by defeating Paraguay with a 3-goal difference.

Prediction: Chile -0.5 FT, Over total goals for the whole match.
