Copa America, Group A: Argentina vs Peru Match Prediction, Team News, Head-to Head, Betting Tips, Odds and Top Players
The reigning Copa America champions and World Champions, Argentina will lock horns with Peru for their last group-stage match. Argentina are already through to the next round but will look to end the group stage with another clinical performance. Their victories haven’t been narrow scrapes; they’ve dominated possession and carved through defenses with ruthless efficiency. Their rock-solid defense has kept Argentina from conceding a single goal so far in the competition, earning them six points out of a possible six. Their attack will continue to look to score more goals for confidence before advancing into the knockouts.
Alternatively, Peru will need to step up to the plate to be even considered for a Knockout Stage berth. They are bottom of the table but still have a chance. Peru will hope that Canada and Chile draw to find themselves in the knockout stage. They have struggled to find the net in 8 of their previous 12 international matches which is an embarrassing number. With a history of competing against a team they haven’t been able to defeat for the past 27 years, Jorge Fassoti’s men will have to step up and hope for the magic to work.

Argentina vs Peru Top Players Predictions
Lionel Messi (Argentina):
As the pride of the Argentina team, Lionel Messi has already achieved everything in his career but his hunger for more makes him an ultimate beast. In both games so far, he has dictated the game but despite his impressive play, Messi has yet to get his name on the scoresheet. Messi needs to find his scoring boots again and this game against Peru will be a perfect opportunity.
Sergio Peña (Peru):
Sergio Peña, who has been Peru’s best player so far, has won eight duels against Canada, having 73 touches of the ball. Peña is the general of Peru’s midfield and his battle with Rodrigo De Paul will be the deciding factor.He has been superb with ball recovering and duels in the middle of the park so far. However, for Peru to win this game, Peña may have to stitch some beautiful long balls to the forward line.

Argentina vs Peru winner Prediction
Argentina are big favorites for this clash and their recent performance backs them up with big numbers. Both attack and defense have aligned perfectly but they will look to add final touches against Peru. However, if Scaloni decides to rest key names keeping knockouts in mind, it can open gates for Peru to sneak and pull off big upset. Looking at all the permutations and combinations, we still expect Argentina to come out on top.
Final Prediction:
Argentina 2-0 Peru
