Our prediction for this Copa America match:
AT&T Stadium will host Saturday’s football game between Peru and Chile, who face each other in the Copa America group A. Los Incas aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over El Salvador, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against La Roja. Both Matias Succar and Paolo Reyna have been left out of the squad, while veteran Paolo Guerrero made the cut.
Chile, on the other hand, proved their worth in a 3-0 win over Paraguay. La Roja aim to give fans yet another reason to celebrate, but a close encounter is on the cards in Arlington. Taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. A man to keep an eye on in the away team will be Inter star Alexis Sanchez, while experienced midfielder Arturo Vidal has been omitted. You should know that under 2.5 goals have been netted in each of the previous three meetings between the two sides.
