Peru FC
Peru is set to start their Copa America campaign with a five-match unbeaten run across all competitions. The Peruvian Football Federation appointed experienced coach Jorge Fossati near the end of 2023, who has transformed the team’s fortunes. Prior to Fossati, Peru had a seven-match winless run, with six of those encounters ending in defeat. This poor form has hindered their chances of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup, as they are currently at the bottom of the CONMEBOL table with just two points from six matches. Fossati has won three of his four matches, conceding only once.
Fossati has chosen an experienced squad for the tournament, with Diego Romero and Andre Carrillo aiming to reach the century mark for international appearances. Goalkeeper Pedro Gallese has 106 caps, surpassing Hector Chumpitaz for fifth all-time. Edison Flores scored the team’s only goal, while Gianluca Lapadula led with three strikes at the previous Copa America.

Peru’s coach, Ricardo Gareca, has been instrumental in guiding the country to its first appearance at the 2018 World Cup since 1982. Under Gareca’s leadership, Peru has won two of its three matches, scoring eight goals in three matches across all competitions. The team has only lost one match since 2020, scoring the opening goal against France. Despite not qualifying for a World Cup since 2014, Chileans have fond memories of the previous Copa America held in the US, where they won the trophy for the second consecutive time. In their last meeting with Peru, La Roja won 2-0, but the last time they met at the Copa America, Los Incas ended Chile’s hopes of a third consecutive title by beating them 3-0 in the semi-finals.
Chilean squad uncapped players Thomas Galdames, Erick Pulgar, and Guillermo Maripan are nearing their caps. Claudio Bravo needs two more appearances to reach 150, while Eduardo Vargas can move into seventh. Victor Davila and Eduardo Vargas scored braces in their victory over Paraguay.
Prediction:
Peru (1.5)
