Canada vs Uruguay Predicted lineup, betting tips, odds, injury news, H2H, telecast | Copa America 2024 third place

La Celeste take on tournament debutants for the bronze medal.

Copa America debutants Canada gave an excellent account of themselves by making it to the final four before bowing out to World Champions Argentina. Les Rouges will take inspiration from their magical run to the semi-final and will want to take the bronze medal home. They will lock horns against a heartbroken Uruguayan side in the third-place match.

Uruguay suffered a soul-crushing defeat to Colombia in the second semi-final of the Copa America 2024. Marcelo Bielsa’s men were too good throughout the group stages and were one of the top contenders for the trophy, but little did they know what Colombia would throw at them. La Celeste will need to calm themselves down and put their best foot forward.

Prediction for Canada vs Uruguay

Canada have been the surprise package of the tournament but have been unable to stand strong against the big boys.
