Canada take on Uruguay in the match for the 3rd place at CONMEBOL Copa America 2024. The match will be played on Sunday, July 14th at Bank of America Stadium (Charlotte, NC).
Canada made a statement by qualifying for the World Cup for the first time since the mid-80s. However, in Qatar, the best generation in Canadian history, led by Davies, performed just as poorly as their predecessors, failing to secure even a single draw. Subsequent tournaments – the Gold Cup and the Nations League – also saw modest results. Similarly, in the Copa América, under Marsch, the "Maple Leafs" did not exceed expectations. They started their campaign with a 0-2 loss to Argentina and were defeated by the same score in the semifinals. Aside from that, they had one win, 1-0 against Peru, in the group stage, and draws. A 0-0 with Chile sent them to the quarterfinals, where after a 1-1 draw in regular time, they edged out Venezuela in a penalty shootout – but then they faced Messi and company again.

Uruguay has gradually forgotten how to score at the Copa. Last fall, the "Charrúas" demonstrated why they hired Bielsa as their coach. Though not everything went perfectly, that qualification phase ended with a series of victories, including wins against Argentina, who were defeating everyone, and Brazil. Incidentally, Bielsa's team clashed with the "Pentacampeões" in the Copa quarterfinals, having previously won their group with consecutive victories over Panama, Bolivia, and the USA. Notably, they played against the Americans having already secured a playoff spot – but still beat them 1-0, denying the host nation a place in the knockout stage. This led them to face the "Pentacampeões" again, playing to a goalless draw and winning on penalties. Perhaps this took a toll on them. In the semifinals, after conceding in the 39th minute, they failed to respond, even though the Colombians played the entire second half with ten men.
The only previous encounter was in the fall of the year before last, where the "Charrúas" won 2-0. The "Reds" are noticeably weaker. We take the risk to bet that Bielsa and his team will win with a handicap of "-1."
Prediction for the match: Uruguay to win with -1.0 handicap.
