Group A action continues in Copa America 2024 as Canada square off against Chile this weekend at Inter&Co Stadium.

After falling 2-0 to Argentina and Lionel Messi in the opening match of the competition, Canada bounced with a 1-0 triumph over Peru thanks to Jonathan David's 74th-minute strike. Should Canada hold on for a draw vs Chile, they just might be able to sneak into the quarter-finals of Copa America.

Chile have struggled to get things going in their first two matches at the competition, settling for a 0-0 draw with Peru before falling 1-0 to Argentina. With their backs against the wall, anything other than three points would more than likely see their Copa America campaign come to an end.

Canada are heading into this one with all the momentum after their win over Peru. However, Chile still pose a threat with the iconic Sanchez in the side, and the veteran forward will do everything in his power to give Chile a chance at qualifying for the knockout stage.

It'll be a grind for Canada, but they should manage to hold on for a draw to book their place in the quarter-finals -- so long as Argentina take care of business vs Peru.

Prediction: Canada 1-1 Chile
