Canada vs Uruguay Preview & Picks

Goals are tipped to be at a premium in the third place playoff.

Both teams have been involved in a bunch of low-scoring games in the Copa America, and more of the same is expected in the penultimate game of the tournament.

  • Under 2.5 goals has cashed in each of Canada's last 6 games
  • Each of Uruguay's last 3 games have produced under 2.5 goals
  • Canada have lost only 2 of their previous 6 games
  • Uruguay have failed to win 5 of their last 9 games

Head To Head

  • Uruguay lead the all-time series 1-0
  • Uruguay won 2-0 when the two teams last met in September 2022

Canada Form

Canada's dream run at the Copa America was halted in the semi-finals on Tuesday, falling 2-0 to defending champions Argentina.

Goals from Lionel Messi and Julian Alvarez ensured a repeat of their group-stage defeat three weeks ago.

Jesse Marsch's side were unable to take several opportunities in a frustrating loss against the reigning Copa America and World Cup winners. 

The Reds have struggled to score throughout the summer, with just two goals scored in five games played in this competition. 

Uruguay Form

Uruguay saw their hopes of Copa America glory dashed with a bad-tempered 1-0 defeat against Colombia on Wednesday.

Despite a one-man advantage for over 45 minutes following Daniel Munoz's first-half red card, La Celeste were unable to break down a stubborn Colombian rearguard. 

Marcelo Bielsa's side have now failed to win five of their last nine games (in 90 minutes), while they scored just one goal in their last three outings.

All three games finished with one or no goals scored. 

Verdict

Both teams have seen some tight contests at this competition, and we expect similar scenes here.

I am taking a chance on under 2.5 goals, while Canada are backed to avoid defeat at an attractive price.
