In the first two rounds of the Copa America, Argentina won both games, winning Canada and Chile in a row, locking the top 2 in the group in advance and qualifying for the top 8 of the knockout round. At 8 o'clock in the morning on June 30, Beijing time, the third round of the group stage will be broadcast live on CCTV! Argentina vs. Peru, draw = 1st place in the group, 19-year-old star to start in place of Messi.
In the current Group A standings, Argentina is ranked first with 6 points from 2 rounds, Canada is 2nd with 3 points, and Chile and Peru are both 1 point, ranking 3rd and 4th respectively. Despite Argentina's victory over Canada in the opening game of the group stage, there is still a theoretical chance that Canada will overtake Argentina to move into first place in the group.
As long as Canada beats Chile and Argentina loses to Peru and Canada has more goal difference than Argentina, Canada will finish first in Group A. Argentina currently have 3 goal difference and Canada have minus 1 goal difference. This could happen, but the probability of Argentina being upset is extremely low.
In the last 15 meetings between Argentina and Peru, Argentina won 11 and drew 4 with Peru, the last 3 games, Argentina won all of them, and in the last 4 matches with Peru, Argentina did not concede a goal, and the Argentine team's record crushed the opponent. Peru's last win against Argentina was back in 1997. At present, the Argentine team is ranked No. 1 in the world, No. 1 in the South American World Preliminary Tournament, and Peru is No. 31 in the world, and is at the bottom of the World Preliminaries.
There is a huge gap in the strength of the two teams, even if Argentina captain Lionel Messi is unable to play this game, it will be difficult for Peru to score points against Argentina, and Argentina's top spot in the group stage of the Copa America is nine out of ten. According to the Argentine newspaper Ole, Messi was not injured, but only had muscle discomfort, which has now subsided. It is reported that Messi will miss the match against Peru and try to cope with the first round of the knockout round in the best condition.
The Clarion predicts the starting line-up for Argentina and Peru, with Carboni, the left-footed attacker who played for Inter Milan on loan at Monza last season, coming into the starting 11 alongside Lautaro and Angel Di Maria. In the midfield position of the Argentine team, it is Paredes, Enzo and Palacios. At left-back, Tagliafico or Acuña were taught, Pezzella or Lucas Martinez and Otamendi were the two centre-backs, and right-back Montiel was the same starter.
In Messi's absence, what do you think Argentina will do? Will they finally be able to defend the Copa America?
