Canada vs Uruguay Prediction & Betting Tips | 14/07/2024 | Football

Posted on by Matthew Reynolds

Our prediction for this Copa America match:

Canada

Canada

Uruguay

Uruguay

Bronze medal at the 2024 Copa America will be at stake when Canada and Uruguay face each other in the third-place playoff at Bank of America Stadium. The Canucks aim to recover from a 2-0 loss to star-studded Argentina, but they will have yet another big fish to fry against la Celeste. Tajon Buchanan remains in the recovery room, while Bayern Munich ace Alphonso Davies is unlikely to be risked after suffering an ankle injury in the semis.

Uruguay, on the other hand, must be low on confidence following a 1-0 loss to Colombia. Marcelo Bielsa, though, is a born winner and we predict that his men are going to clinch bronze medal at the showpiece tournament in USA. Tottenham midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur limped off with injury in the Copa America semis, with Guillermo Varela likely to step up. Nahitan Nandez is back from suspension.

Prediction:
1-2

Highlighted Player (Luis Suarez):

Luis Suarez

Luis Suarez is a controversial footballer who plays for La Liga side Barcelona as a striker. The Uruguayan forward moved to Europe in 2006, signing a deal with Groningen. After scoring 10 goals in 27 league appearances for the club in the 2006/2007 Eredivisie campaign, he joined Ajax at the end of the season. The prolific striker scored no less than 81 goals in 110 appearances for Ajax and, as a result, Liverpool chiefs decided to sign him on 31 January 2011.

Suarez became the club’s most expensive signing and he was producing thrilling performances with the Anfield outfit between 2011 and 2014. Liverpool were on the verge of winning the 2013/2014 Premier League trophy, but Steven Gerrard slipped in the decider against Chelsea and they eventually finished the season in second place in the standings.

In 2014 Suarez joined Barcelona and he was the top scorer in the 2015/2016 La Liga campaign. He won the 2013/2014 Premier League Golden Boot as well and in 2011 he clinched the Copa America trophy with Uruguay.

Highlighted Team (Canada):

Canada

Canada national football team played their first official match back in 1924 when they suffered a 3-2 loss to Australia in Brisbane. The following year the two teams faced each other one in Adelaide, with the Canadians managing to get their revenge on the Socceroos. The Canucks had several unsuccessful attempts to make it to the World Cup finals, but in 1986 they finally booked their place at the showpiece tournament.

Canada faced France in their opener, with Jean-Pierre Papin scoring the winner for les Tricolores in the dying minutes of the match. The Canadians were beaten by Hungary and USSR in the next two group games as well and, as a result, they failed to advance to the knockout stages.

Speaking of the team’s trophies, the Canucks won the CONCACAF Gold cup on two occasions (1985, 2000), with the team beating Honduras and Colombia respectively in the title games. Canada national football team play their home games at BMO Field and the capacity of the venue is 30,000.
