Canada will be looking to improve on their last outing here following a 2-0 Copa America defeat last time out to Argentina.

In that match, Canada had 49% possession and 9 shots at goal with 2 on target. For their opponents, Argentina got 11 attempts on goal with 3 of them on target. Julián Álvarez (22') and Lionel Messi (51') scored for Argentina.

Canada have not been in good attacking form in recent times. Their goals record equals just 2 versus opposition teams over their previous 6 outings. In those meetings, Canada have also seen the number of goals that have gone against them come to 5. Let’s see whether or not that trend will end up being sustained into this next match.

After being beaten in their last game against Colombia in Copa America action, Uruguay and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.

In that match, Uruguay had 62% possession and 11 shots at goal with 2 on target. For their opponents, Colombia got 11 shots at goal with 4 of them on target. Jefferson Lerma (39') scored for Colombia.

A tendency of at least one team drawing a blank in games featuring Uruguay has been noticeable recently. Looking at their last six meetings shows that it has occurred 5 times. During these clashes, opposing sides have managed a goal tally of 2 while Uruguay have scored 13.

📋 Team News: Canada

We think that The Canucks could line up in a 4-4-2 formation for the game featuring Maxime Crepeau, Alistair Johnston, Moise Bombito, Derek Cornelius, Alphonso Davies, Richie Laryea, Jonathan Osorio, Stephen Eustaquio, Jacob Shaffelburg, Jonathan David and Cyle Larin.

📋 Team News: Uruguay

There’s a good chance that La Celeste will likely utilize a 4-2-3-1 lineup, starting Sergio Rochet, Nahitan Nandez, Jose Gimenez, Mathias Olivera, Matias Vina, Federico Valverde, Manuel Ugarte, Facundo Pellistri, G. De Arrascaeta, Maximiliano Araujo and Darwin Nunez.

🧠 Prediction

We believe that Uruguay are likely to dominate possession and create several successful chances.

Conversely, Canada may well find it hard to get on the scoresheet although we think that they will probably end up being dangerous at times, too.

We’re therefore expecting to see a comfortable 1-3 victory for Uruguay at the end of this one.
