Canada vs Chile Prediction and Betting Tips | 29th June 2024

Canada will look to book a berth in the knockout stages of the 2024 Copa America as they square off against Chile at the Inter & Co Stadium in Florida on Saturday. With Argentina already securing a spot in the quarter-finals, Saturday's encounter between Canada and Chile is pretty much a do-or-die scenario for both sides.

After losing their group-stage opener 2-0 to Argentina, Canada bounced back to register a 1-0 win over Peru last Tuesday. That marked their first-ever win at the Copa America and it saw them rise to second in Group A, two points ahead of their Saturday opponents and Peru.

If Peru don't do the unthinkable and pull a major upset over Argentina in their final group-stage match, a draw will see Canada progress to the knockout rounds.

Meanwhile, Chile are yet to pick up their first win at the 2024 Copa America. The two-time winners of the continental competition need nothing short of a win against Canada to punch their tickets to the quarter-finals on Saturday.

Chile settled for a 0-0 draw with Peru on matchday one before being beaten 1-0 by Argentina. Lautaro Martinez secured the winning goal as late as the 88th minute for La Albiceleste and it was a heartbreaking end to a match in which Chile had fought valiantly.

They are yet to open their goal tally at the tournament. In addition to getting a win over Canada, Chile will need a result that's better than what Peru can earn against Argentina to progress to the knockout stages.

Canada vs Chile Prediction

This could be a very tight contest given what's at stake. Chile will be desperate for a win and are the favourites here, by a slim margin, but Canada coming up trumps on Saturday won't be all too surprising either. But due to both teams' struggles in front of goal, this one is most likely to end in a draw.

Prediction: Canada 1-1 Chile
