The Copa America holders and reigning world champions, Argentina, face off against Peru at the Hard Rock Stadium in Florida on Sunday.
Argentina aims to maintain their perfect record in Group A, while Peru needs a win to advance to the knockout stage.
Team Form
Argentina
Argentina secured their spot in the quarter-finals after a narrow 1-0 victory against Chile.
Inter Milan striker Lautaro Martinez scored the decisive goal, maintaining Argentina’s unbeaten run in the group.
They have an impressive record, losing only two of their last 59 international matches since 2019.
Argentina has also won their last seven games in all competitions by an aggregate score of 15-2.
Peru
Peru is at risk of exiting the Copa America group stage for the first time since 1995.
They have only one point from their first two matches, drawing 0-0 with Chile and losing 1-0 to Canada.
Goals have been hard to come by for Peru, as they have failed to score in eight of their last 12 international matches.
Their recent form against Argentina is also poor, having failed to score in their last four meetings.

Prediction
