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

The Reds lost 2-0 to Argentina on matchday 1.

The second game of the Copa America 2024 will kick off with a clash between former champions Peru and tournament debutants Canada. Peru come into the game on the back of a 0-0 draw with Chile in their curtain raiser. La Blanquirroja will be keen to get their first three points come Wednesday.

They will be up against a formidable Canada side. The Reds put up a great show in the first half of their opening game against World Champions Argentina but succumbed to the pressure in the second half. They did lose 2-0 in their first match against the best team in the world right now but can take pride in their overall performance in the game and build upon it.

Kick Off

Location: Children’s Mercy Park

Form

Peru (in all competitions): D-W-D-W-W

Players to watch

Sergio Peña (Peru)

The right-footed midfielder had a good game in Peru’s curtain raiser against Chile. Sergio Peña was involved in the thick of things on either end of the pitch.

His high pressing, positioning and playmaking skills will come in handy for Jorge Fossati’s side going further into the Copa America 2024 tournament. He recorded nine ball recoveries, two clearances and tackles each in the last game.

Maxime Crépeau (Canada)

Maxime Crépeau has been a consistent performer under the bar for Canada. He has dropped in really good performances in the build-up to the tournament and was good even in the last game.

Crépeau made six crucial saves in the game against Argentina and kept them at bay for the majority of the game. Expect him to continue with the same momentum.
