Copa America holders and reigning world champions Argentina will endeavour to maintain their perfect record in Group A when they face Peru at the Hard Rock Stadium in Florida on Sunday.

While La Albiceleste have already punched their ticket to the knockout rounds, La Blanquirroja must claim maximum points to have any chance of escaping the group stage.

We say: Argentina 2-0 Peru

Having drawn a blank in front of goal in their first two group games, Peru must find their shooting boots on Sunday if they are to have any chance of claiming the victory they need to boost their hopes of reaching the quarter-finals.

However, it is difficult to envisage a Peruvian triumph in Florida; La Blanquirroja have not beaten Argentina in any competition since securing a 2-1 victory at the 1997 Copa America, and although Scaloni will make changes to his first XI, La Albiceleste should have enough strength in depth to come out on top and seal first position in Group A.

Seeking to punch their ticket to 2024 Copa America knockout rounds, tournament debutants Canada do battle with fellow quarter-final hopefuls Chile at the Inter & Co Stadium in Florida on Sunday.

The two nations, who are separated by two points in Group A, have never faced each other in either a competitive or no-competitive fixture before.

We say: Canada 1-1 Chile

A closely-fought contest between two teams with contrasting levels of experience on the Copa America stage could be on the cards this weekend. Although Chile - who must win to keep their knockout hopes alive - will be regarded by some as slight favourites, we can see an upbeat Canada side claiming at least a share of the spoils this time around.
