Argentina vs Peru prediction and betting tips - June 30, 2024
The third round of the Copa America will take place on Sunday at the Hard Rock Stadium, where Argentina will face Peru. Here is the match prediction from the Dailysports expert team.
Argentina
The Argentina national team is the main favorite of the Copa America, and rightly so, as they are the reigning world champions. The question arises, however, whether this team, having won everything there is to win, still has the motivation to compete? Nevertheless, Argentina is confidently leading the qualifiers for the next World Cup, and in the friendly matches preceding the tournament, the 'Albicelestes' consistently secured victories.
This team's hunger for success is evident as they continue to play with passion and deliver results. In the Copa America, Lionel Scaloni's squad has taken maximum points from their two matches. In the first match, they defeated Canada 2-0, with both goals coming in the second half. In the second match, despite facing difficulties, they managed to unlock Chile's defense in the dying minutes to secure a 1-0 victory.
Peru
The 'Rojiblancos' pleasantly surprised at the 2018 World Cup, performing admirably in a group with France, Denmark, and Australia. However, the 2022 World Cup in Qatar saw them absent, and it seems unlikely they will qualify for the 2026 World Cup. Jorge Fossati's team has only two points from six qualification matches.
Peru has struggled not only against South America's giants but also against mid-tier teams like Bolivia. Their issues have persisted in the Copa America, where they have garnered only one point from two matches, leaving them with slim chances of advancing from the group. They drew 0-0 with Chile in their opening match and lost 1-0 to Canada in their second game.
Interesting Facts and Match History
- Argentina has won the last three matches against Peru without conceding a single goal.
- Both teams have scored in four of their last matches.
- The 'Total Over 2.5' bet has only hit in one of the last five encounters between these teams.
Argentina vs Peru Prediction
Bookmakers give a clear advantage to the Argentinian team. However, the world champions have already secured their place in the next round and might rest some key players. Therefore, we recommend betting on 'Total Under 2.5' with odds of 1.75.
