Canada vs Uruguay best bet: Uruguay ML (-190)

Uruguay can end their Copa America campaign on a high note in the 2024 Copa America third-place play-off clash with Canada. The match will see 2 former Leeds United head coaches go head to head with Marcelo Bielsa leading Uruguay while Jesse Marsch will aim to end Canada’s campaign on a high. Emotions will no doubt be high for Uruguay after players Darwin Nunez and Maximillian Araujo leapt to the defense of family members in the crowd after a brawl broke out and it remains to be seen what punishments could be forthcoming. Assuming both men can feature, that fire in their belly could lead to a big victory over Canada.

Canada were comPetitive at times against Argentina in their 2-0 semifinal defeat, hitting only 2 fewer shots, but they have lacked ruthlessness throughout the tournament and that could cost them in this Game. Uruguay have beaten their last 3 CONCACAF opponents without breaking much of a sweat and should be able to do so again here.
