Canada vs Chile best bet: Canada Win or Tie double chance (-145)
Canada face Chile in the final round of Copa America Group A games knowing a tie could send them through to the next round. The Canucks lost 2-0 to Argentina but then claimed a 1-0 win over Peru, while Chile have just 1 point on the board and need to win to keep their own Copa America dream alive. Chile are the favorites for this game but their first 2 performances haven’t been convincing. They dominated for large periods against Peru but were unable to find a way through, while they were outclassed by Argentina and lucky to only lose 1-0. Backing underdogs Canada in the double chance market looks the best approach as they competed well at times against Argentina and know a tie would potentially see them progress, while Chile have only managed 2 wins in their last 8 games.

Argentina vs Peru best bet: Argentina Win in Shutout (+108)
Argentina are the first nation to have booked their place in the knockout stages of the 2024 Copa America and their so-far flawless campaign can continue with a comfortable win over Peru. The world champions have eased past Chile and Canada to top Group A, and they should earn another victory with a clean sheet. Only Uruguay and Saudi Arabia have beaten Argentina in their last 58 games, and they are red-hot favorites to continue their dominance over Peru. Peru haven’t beaten the reigning Copa America champions since 1997 and it is difficult to see them breaking that run on Saturday night. The White & Reds have lost both games at this tournament without scoring, and another defeat to nil is our Argentina vs Peru prediction.
