Chile vs Peru Prediction & Betting tips
The second semi-final of the Copa America goes between Chile and Peru. In this ‘Clasico del Pacifico’ both countries will really do everything to make the home front proud, so prepare yourself for ninety minutes of South American football passion!
Chile:
Chile won the two previous editions of the Copa America, and hopes to win the South American country tournament three times in a row this summer. Still, I did not expect La Roja to make this tournament the semi-finals. After all, the country did not qualify for the World Cup last year, while the starting eleven of national coach Reinaldo Rueda with thirty-something such as Arturo Vidal, Alexis Sanchez, Gary Medel, Jean Beausejour, Gabriel Arias, Mauricio Isla and Jose Pedro Fuenzalia are quite old . However, it was precisely this experience, combined with the completely revived Sanchez, that helped the Chileans to get a place in the last four. The country was already assured of a place in the next round in the group stage after just two games, and was also the parent in the quarterfinals against the previously unapproachable Colombia. The regular playing time did not lead to any goals, but given the game situation, it was only right that Chile emerged as the winner in the penalty shootout series.
The team of Rueda is like a house, so no surprises are expected for the squatter against Peru. Midfielders Arturo Vidal and Charles Aranguiz are on the alert and would have to miss out on a possible final in a yellow card against Peru, but Vidal already said he would not restrain himself: must take a card then it is like that. The only thing that matters is reaching the final. ” In the front, center striker Eduardo Vargas is the man to keep an eye on. In his previous six meetings against Peru, Turboman accounted for no fewer than seven goals.
Peru:
The semi-final place for Peru is also a big surprise for me. The country had not heard anything from it for a while, and during the group stage it came third with a spot in group A behind Brazil and Venezuela. Also in the quarterfinals against Uruguay were Los Incas with their backs against the wall, but partly thanks to no fewer than three rejected Uruguayan hits, they managed to win a penalty series through a scoreless draw. In it, goalkeeper Pedro Gallese turned out to be the nation’s hero by turning a penalty from Luis Suarez, thereby helping his country get a totally unexpected place in the semi-finals of the Copa America.
Peru did not have to complain about happiness on its way to the last four of the Copa America, but you sometimes need that to get a stronger football country on its knees. Against Chile the red and white are again the obvious underdog, although they are once again keen on a stunt. “This is the game of our lives,” said defender Miguel Trauco. ‘We set the bar high. Who doesn’t dream of winning the Copa America? ” Peru, however, will have to perform again in the night from Wednesday to Thursday without its injured star player Jefferson Farfan. “But that’s no problem,” said Peruvian journalist Gonzalo Nunez. “The system with Farfan and Paolo Guerrero as an attack duo did not work. 4-2-3-1 with Guerrero as the deep striker and Andre Carrillo and Edison Flores on the wings are much better for us. ‘
