A pair of teams hoping to advance to the quarterfinals of Copa America 2024 meet on Saturday as Canada face Chile.
Canada - Chile: Form Analysis
Canada are heading into just their third game of the Copa America and they are in with a chance to make the knockouts.
Coming off an intensely physical game against Peru, they will be hoping for a second straight win. Jesse Marsch’s men endured sweltering heat to beat Peru 1-0 courtesy of Jonathan David’s second half strike. It was a mix of physical and mental strength that delivered their first win at the competition.
Canada will need more of this grit to beat Chile, though a draw could in the end still be enough for them. In their only meeting in history, these two nations drew 2-2.
With just one goal in the last four matches, the Canadians will want to do better in attack here. They haven't enjoyed a great run of form either, winning just four of their last 13 matches.
An aging squad has been blamed for Chile’s dip in form coming into this competition. A persistent problem for the former South America champions is how they can overcome their attacking shortcomings.
They haven't scored a goal at this competition, though they did manage eight in the three friendly matches before this tournament.
Chile are still fielding the stars that won the nation's first ever Copa America title nine years ago. Among them is key forward Alexis Sanchez, whose best years are long gone.
This might explain why La Roja have scored just two goals in their last seven competitive matches. They are no longer the force they once were in South America, having won just once in 90 minutes in their last 11 Copa America matches.
In seven of those 11 Copa America matches, they failed to score.
Prediction: Canada 1-1 Chile
