Peru team news
Peru will be without Luis Advincula against Canada after he suffered an Achilles injury against Chile. The captain of La Blanquirroja was replaced by Marcos Lopez in just the 35th minute of Peru's first Copa America 2024 match. Although Lopez will start against Canada, Advincula could be fit in time for Peru's final Group A clash with Argentina on June 29.
Otherwise, Jorge Fossati's starting XI will likely remain unchanged from their previous match.

Canada team news
Canada have not scored a goal in their last four matches, and new manager Jesse Marsch has yet to find his first win since accepting the job back in May. Canada have plenty of talent on the pitch, including Bayern Munich's Alphonso Davies and Lille's Jonathan David, but the team is lacking the final product that will get them on the scoresheet.
If they want to advance to the Knockout Stage in their first ever Copa America appearance, Canada need to take all three points from Peru.

Peru vs Canada score prediction
Peru have not given up a goal in four of their last five matches, and it is hard to imagine their sound defense will concede to Marsch's Canada. If the Reds' performance against Argentina is any indication, Peru will be able to take advantage of a careless giveaway and exploit Canada on the counter attack to win the game.
