Argentina vs Peru Betting Tips: UNDER 2.5

With a game to spare, Argentina have already booked their spot in the last eight of the 2024 Copa America after grinding out a one-goal victory against a tenacious Chile on Wednesday, thanks to super-sub Lautaro Martinez who netted a late winner in a dramatic contest.

Inter star Lautaro also made an impressive impact off the bench in the tournament opener when he sealed a 2-0 victory over Canada with an 88th-minute goal, and his contribution should see him rewarded by coach Scaloni with a starting spot in the final Group A match.

Inserting the latest Serie A Golden Boot winner in the starting XI could prove fruitful for the Copa America holders, because it was Lau Martinez has led his country to victories over the Peruvians in the last two head-to-head encounters when he was a starter.

Despite his contributions, it's clear that Los Albiceleste are struggling with clinical finishing in front of goal, having put just three balls into the net from an incredible 39 attemps (17 on target) through their first two Group B matches at this summer's tournament.

The Peruvians are banking on a miracle to surprass the world champions, while also cheering for Canada to either lose or draw against Chile, in order to avoid elimination in the group stage of the Copa America, something that hasn't happened to them in the last 10 editions.

Undoubtedly, it's been a disappointing start to the Copa America campaign for La Blanquirroja, a side that has reached the semifinals or better in four of the last five occassions, as their dull scoreless draw with Chile was followed by a quiet 0-1 loss to tournament debutants Canada.

What spells trouble for coach Jorge Fossati is his team's offensive line, which has been invisible and dormant in recent times, firing blanks in their last four international outings, and they are yet to get on the scoresheet in this summer's tournament.

Even worse, it appears that Peru could exit the 2024 Copa America not only without a win but also without scoring, considering they haven't managed to rattle the net against Argentina in any of their last four encounters. Knowing that Los Albiceleste have been unconvincing in the final third and rock-solid at the back, we envision a subdued contest with little action and goals, much like the past four H2Hs, all of which saw two goals or fewer.
