Peru preview: Can they avoid a loss once again?
With six games in a row without a loss, Peru have been in good form lately, although most of those games were friendly matches with national teams of a lower stature than Peru. Still, they've shown that they're in solid form with a draw against Chile in the first round here at Copa America as well and if they can beat Canada, Peru will take a huge step towards the next stage.
Peru will likely be without Luis Advicula in this game since he was subbed off in the last match after suffering an injury.
Predicted lineup: Gallese (GK), Araujo, Zambrano, Callens, Polo, Pena, Cartagena, Quispe, Lopez, Lapadula & Flores

Canada preview: Hoping to do better than they did against Argentina
While this Canada squad for Copa America is one of the best in the team's history, it seems that they still need to grow more before we can see some more impressive results. That being said, a loss to Argentina in the opening match of the tournament is hardly a surprise, but a loss to Peru would be a tough things to swallow.
