Why Bet on Canada?
Whatever happens this weekend, Canada can consider itself well served. In its first Copa América, it reached the semifinals, losing to the current champion of the tournament and of the world, Argentina, and surpassed the United States and Mexico, the two most important teams in CONCACAF.
The Maple Leaf, which had already shown signs of its growth by qualifying for the last World Cup, started the tournament and was eliminated in the same way: losing 2-0 to Argentina. However, in the group stage, they managed a 1-0 win over Peru and a goalless draw with Chile to advance to the quarterfinals, thus eliminating the other two South Americans.
In the next round, they played Venezuela, with whom they tied 1-1 and had to decide the winner on penalties. Goalkeeper Maxime Crépeau, who had a little complicity in La Vinotinto’s goal, recovered from his mistake and saved two penalty kicks (in addition to another missed one) and the North Americans won 4-3.
In the semifinals, Argentina overcame them, almost without any problems, thus ending the Cinderella dream. However, they will go all out for this third place, which would be a great result for the team.
Why Bet on Uruguay?
Uruguay cannot be happy about facing off against Canada in the 3rd place game. Undoubtedly, the Charrúas were only thinking about the title, and the elimination in the semifinals against Colombia was a bitter pill to swallow for Marcelo Bielsa’s team, which had a remarkable tournament.
After sweeping through the group stage, beating Panama (3-1), Bolivia (5-0) and the United States (1-0), they had to face Brazil in the quarterfinals. It was a goalless draw decided on penalties, where they won 4-2 after Sergio Rochet saved Militão’s penalty kick and Douglas Luiz missed his own.
In the semifinals, they started with two big losses in the defense: Nahitan Nández, suspended, and Ronaldo Araújo, injured. The Colombians took the lead, and at the end of the first half, they had a defender sent off, so Uruguay played the whole second half with an extra man, but they could not overcome the resistance of Camilo Vargas.
That hurt even more for the Uruguayans, knowing that they played with an extra player for a whole half, and the only play of real danger was a shot by Luis Suárez against the post. Tempers flared after the final whistle, and the players fought against their rivals and even against the fans. The images of Darwin Núñez entering the stands to fight with the Colombian supporters have already gone around the world, and Liverpool’s striker should be sanctioned. It is said that he may not be able to play for his national team again this year.
Now, it is time to turn the page. Nández will be able to return, but Araújo will probably not risk it, and Núñez will most likely be suspended before Saturday and miss the match. Luis Suárez would replace him in what could also be his last game with the national team.
Final Betting Analysis: Canadá vs. Uruguay
The history of Canada vs. Uruguay is reduced to two matches, both friendlies and won by the South Americans. The last one was on September 27, 2022, and ended 2-0 with goals by Nicolás de la Cruz and Darwin Núñez.
The numbers at Gambyl Exchange have Uruguay as the favorite. Their Moneyline shows 1.59, Canada has 6.09, and the draw is at 4.36.
The Copa América prepares us for its final with this game for the third place, where we will have a Canada motivated by achieving a historic third place, against Uruguay, beaten by everything that happened in the semifinals, and possibly playing with some substitutes, so we believe it will be a draw. Then, in the shootout, the Charruas will rely on Rochet again to win.
Go for a draw in the Moneyline. If you bet $100 at 4.36, you will gain $336 for a total payout of $436.
