Argentina vs Peru Match Information

  • Match: Argentina (2-0-0) vs Peru (0-1-1)
  • Location: Hard Rock Stadium, Miami Gardens, Florida
  • Day/Time: Saturday, June 29, 8 p.m. ET
  • Argentina vs Peru Live Stream: Fubo.tv

 

Argentina is at the top of their group and has been one of the best teams in the tournament, edging Chile to an important 1-0 win in their previous game, and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.

Lionel Scaloni is expected to rest key players including Lionel Messi and Marcos Acuna, while Lautaro Martinez, Giovani Lo Celso, Angel Di Maria, and Leandro Paredes should be recalled to the starting lineup.

The nominal visitors, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 1-0 loss to Canada, but given Argentina’s three-game winning run in meetings with Peru, the nominal home is the clear online betting favorite. To make things even worse for Jorge Fossati’s team, defender Miguel Araujo is banned from the match.

Argentina is the favorite to win the match at -210 soccer betting odds. You can watch the game on FOX or stream it on FuboTV on Saturday, June 29th, at 3 pm ET.

 

Argentina vs Peru Odds and Spreads

 

  • Argentina lost just two of their last 58 matches across all competitions
  • Peru has won just three of their 32 meetings with Argentina
  • Argentina kept clean sheets in five of their last seven matches and in their last four meetings with Peru
  • Lautaro Martinez has scored four goals in his last three outings for Argentina
  • Argentina is unbeaten in their last 16 matches against Peru in all competitions, with their previous such defeat coming by a 2-1 scoreline in 1997.
  • Peru comes into this game with two wins, two draws, and one defeat from their last five games.

 

Value Bet Alert! Argentina to Cover Spread

It is difficult to envisage a Peruvian triumph in Florida; the team has not beaten Argentina since a 2-1 victory at the 1997 Copa America, and although Scaloni will make changes to his starting lineup, Argentina should have enough strength in depth to come out on top and seal first position in Group A.

If you’re looking for a great value soccer bet, go with Argentina to cover the -1 spread or bet them to win this match to nil.

 

 

Lautaro Martinez will rise to the occasion

Lautaro Martinez has had a season to remember. He helped Inter win the Serie A title and he looks determined to help his country to Copa America glory, too. Martinez has scored in both tournament games and I predict another goal for the in-form marksman.

It’s four goals in his last three outings for his country, and although Argentina manager Lionel Scaloni may look to rotate his side with qualification sealed, Martinez should still play a part in this final group match.

He only needs one chance to score and he should get opportunities against such weak opposition, even if his game time is limited. If you want a good soccer player prop bet, you should back him to find the back of the net.
