This weekend, Canada will face off against Uruguay in North Carolina for the third-place match at this year’s Copa America.
In their debut appearance at the Copa America, Canada made it to the semifinals where they were defeated 2-0 by Argentina. Despite the loss, Canada’s performance against the reigning champions showcased their potential but also highlighted the gap between CONCACAF nations and the world’s top teams.
Uruguay, led by Marcelo Bielsa, had a strong run in the tournament but suffered a 1-0 defeat against Colombia in the semifinals. They will now compete against Canada for third place.
Predicted Lineups and Team News
Canadian star Alphonso Davies is expected to feature in the lineup after X-rays confirmed no serious injury following the semifinal loss. Tajon Buchanan will miss the match due to a tibia injury, with Richie Laryea likely to fill in.
On the other hand, Uruguay will welcome Nahitan Nandez back from suspension but will be without Ronald Araujo due to injury. The team is expected to make some changes after their semifinal disappointment.
